As Doug says it is easier to use a macro run on exit from a field to insert
a required date, but it is also possible to use the numeric value from the
dropdown field in the datecalc calculation. If we assume that the Dropdown
field with the delays is bookmarked Dropdown1, set its calculate on exit
check box and in the datecalculation use {SET Delay { REF Dropdown1 }}

Is there a way I can insert a date into a form field, and then have
that date update other, different dates? Specifically, I want the
people using my form to insert a project due date, then the form
will populate a timeline of different dates based on the due date
for when the steps of the project need to be completed.
Thanks!
