Default DATE Field

I have a date field that automatically populates with todays Month and year
in the format "MMMM yyyy". I would like the field to show NEXT month not the
current month. Is there a way to have this automatically increment the MONTH
my one?

Thank you.

Default DATE Field

This is more complex than you might imagine, but it can be done. See
http://addbalance.com/word/datefields2.htm for information on the different
kinds of ways to make a date calculation work. It includes links to pages
with fields and an explanation of different macros that can be used instead
of fields.
