Default Birth Date Field in Word Form

Hello



Apologies if this question has already been asked, but I am trying to insert a date picker field into a word form, and it automatically comes up as the calendar for the current month and year. i.e. in order to select a birth date from the 1980s, you would have to click the 'left' button hundreds of times. Is there a different control to allow you to choose the year and month in a drop down box?

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

Hi jaxibobaxi,

Why are you using the date picker? Why not simply have the user input the date into a formfield whose properties are configured for date entry in the desired format?
