Date Picker work-around



I am working on a form with drop-down menus and boxes where one of the entries is date of birth. By using date picker, a user has to click a bazillion times to get back to, say, 1920.

I tried to break it apart with day then month then year. In entering the years into the list box, I got an error that stated that there was a limit as to how many could appear.

Is there a way to have them enter the year, then use that year to reset the date picker to the appropriate year?

thanks for any help.
