If you want to avoid macros then simply set the form field types as Date.
Set a formatting style to the field and let the users enter their own dates.

Here is my scenerio. I am designing forms for our school, these
forms will be uploaded a state run web site for folks to fill in
regarding their students. I have everytihng done except all the dates
fields. The dates will not only be todays date, but last conference
date, Date of birth, date of next meeting etc. So you see that there
are many variations of dates to be entered. I tried the popup
calendar and I can get it to work but my problem is the macros that
will not run unless the user chages their macro settings, which I
think miht be controlled by GPO in other districts disabling that.
I think that I can get it digitally signed, but wilthat take care of
the problem? BTW - all users will be Office 03 or 07 users, but not
all districts have applied the compatibility pack therefor I have to
create the frm in a 97-03 format for all users.
I thought I could do three fields for month, day, year.....but the
over 25 entried in the day field will limit me and then subject me
back to a combo box but that takes me back to a macro that will have
to run as above.
Any other ideas?
