Thank you for your response.

When I copy the code into my document with the previous code still in it, I get an error about an ambiguous name. If I delete the previous code and copy/paste the code you just provided into my document, when I select an item from the drop down menu the second content control never populates and just stays blank,



I have tried fooling around with the code for a while and was unable to obtain the desired result.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Also, did you have any insight into how to force the user to use the date picker tool while disabling manual entry?

Thanks

That's most likely because you've already locked it.
That's not possible. What you can do, however, is validate whatever has been input - both as a date and as to the date format.
