Thanks thomp-I am new to this and must be dumb but I just can't figure out haw to set these 3 text foelds up-it seem to be simple but it eludes me. The key to my form is entering the number of days and getting the date in the 3rd box by adding the origional date to the days box.
I am confused

The task you want to perform requires a calculation script. Scripting is not an easy thing and requires a bit of experience with programming concepts. So you have to spend a little bit of time coming up to speed on scripting. If you need this tasks to be done quicker then you should consider hiring a programmer.

You have to create a custom calculation script for the 3rd field
// add days to current date and set value of this field// get current date time objectvar oNow = new Date();// get the number of days to add to the current datevar fAddDays = this.getField('Field2Name').value;// add fAddDays to current date's object dateoNow.setDate(oNow.getDate() + Number(fAddDays) );// set field value to current date plus number of days formattedevent.value = util.printd('mmm d, yyyy', oNow);
