I don't understand your reply. This is a set of fields. They will remain as
you enter them.

You have to be a little imaginative and use CreateDate instead of
Date or StartDate
eg

{QUOTE { SET Delay 14 }{SET a{=INT((14-{CreateDate \@ M})/12)}}{SET
b{={CreateDate \@ yyyy}+4800-a}}{SET c{={CreateDate \@
M}+12*a-3}}{SET d{CreateDate \@ d}}{SET
jd{=d+INT((153*c+2)/5)+365*b+INT(b/4)-INT(b/100)+INT(b/400)-32045+Delay}}{SET
e{=INT((4*(jd+32044)+3)/146097)}}{SET
f{=jd+32044-INT(146097*e/4)}}{SET g{=INT((4*f+3)/1461)}}{SET
h{=f-INT(1461*g/4)}}{SET i{=INT((5*h+2)/153)}}{SET
dd{=h-INT((153*i+2)/5)+1}}{SET mm{=i+3-12*INT(i/10)}}{SET
yy{=100*e+g-4800+INT(i/10)}}{=dd*10^6+mm*10^4+yy \# "00'-'00'-'0000"}
\@ "dddd, d MMMM yyyy"}

The delay at the beginning is the difference between the createdate
and the
required future date and the format at the end is the display format
of the
inserted date itself.

Genius - however doesnt explain how to do it from the create date -
merely the current date, but still helps
