Default Force Entry into a Text Box

Or you could simply insert a createdate field, or format the date form field
to insert the current date.

I have a form that has some really neat macros that I have borrowed
on- line:
-inserting a picture in a form
-spellchecking a form

One problem that I have it a text box where the user is to insert the
date. I put a date format in & controlled entry to 25 characters AND
put in help text indicating they must insert a date. Unfortunately,
the user just skips the text box entirely and enters nothing. Is
there any way that I can force them to enter a date before moving on
to another text box?

Thank you in advance.
