I'm trying to create a Word template that will be used for several people
within our network. The template will be saved as a protected form, since it
will be an official gov't document. There's one field that needs to be in a
date format, but not the current date. I was thinking of using the Calendar
Control in the VBA toolbox, but there's a good chance that not everyone
who'll be using the form will have all the same plug-ins as I do, including
the Calendar control. From past experience, I have seen the Calendar control
not stay active, and I'd rather avoid numerous calls to the helpdesk to
resolve this everytime the document is used.

Is there a way to format a field as a date with a switch, and not have the
switch get edited when the date is entered?
