On the shortcut menu and then clicking Date Picker in the Select a Control dialog box. If the field has a text data type, you can still use a date picker by clicking More Note If you do not see Date Picker as a choice on the shortcut menu, make sure that the field has a date or date and time data type. In the Data Source task pane, right-click the field you want the date picker to be bound to, and then click Date Picker on the shortcut menu.Note If you are binding the date picker to a repeating field, the date picker must be inside a repeating table or repeating section.ĭata Source task pane is not visible, click Data Source on the View menu. Insert a date picker (bind to an existing field) Note You can change the display format of the date only if the data type is date or date and time. To specify the way the date is displayed in the form, double-click the date picker, click Format, and click the display format you want in the Display the date like this.Because the date format MS Word will accept is DATE 'Date-Time Picture' Switches where Date-Time Picture is the formatting like dd mm yyyy and. In newer versions of MS Word, it is not possible to use d ordinal day of MMMM, yyyy as it was possible to use in date fields. You must insert a date picker that is bound to an existing field or to a field that you create. Can you use ordinal indicators in the date picker content control Yes, but not in the way you have mentioned. it has content control objects in it such as rich text and date picker content controls. Note If the check box cannot be selected, the form's design does not allow the data source to be automatically created. I have a word document that is 'form-fillable', i.e. In the Controls task pane, make sure the Automatically create data source check box is selected.If the Controls task pane is not visible, click More Controls on the Insert menu.

In design mode, place the insertion point where you want to insert the date picker.If you do this, InfoPath will create a field in the data source that is bound to the date picker. You can have Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 automatically create the data source when you insert date pickers (as well as other controls).
