How can I auto fill a "Date field" when some one filling out a form selects
the date from a calendar
 
You can use ActiveX control, but they are not recommended. Actually whenever
possible they are to be avoided as they can lead to versioning issues...

So my original post still stands. Use either Stephen or Allen's calendar as
they as reliable (no versioning issues) and easy to setup and use.

I agree. ActiveX controls can be problematic, especially between versions.
If there are other alternatives, I'd recommend using them. In addition to
Stephen's calendar, which is API based, and Allen's calendar, based on a
form. There is a form based calendar which has been working (with
conversion, as necessary) in every version of Access beginning with Access
2.0 and continuing through the Access 2010 beta:

There are also several calendars at the Access Web.
