I have a user-defined date/time field on a form that has the initial value
set to Date(). I want the user to be able to edit the date as needed, but
quite often it will be the current date. In other office programs, you can
enter a date such as 4/29 and it will autofill with 4/29/09 adding the
current year. In my case it comes out 4/29/10. Is this normal behavior and
is there a way around it? I'm fairly new to Outlook forms.

Thanks,
Mary
 
Yes, that's normal behavior -- if the year is not specified, Outlook adds
the most likely year. I'm not sure what kind of workaround you're looking
for, unless you can read the user's mind about what date they're likely to
really want.
