In SharePoint 2007 whenever I go to initially check in an uploaded file, I have to enter the date.

1. Is there a way that I or the SharePoint admin can make this default to the file date?
2. If not, can I make it the current date and time?
3. Or at least the current date (it seems to default the time to midnight)?

The specific field is Date Modified and this field is shown at check in time.
