    Date field has a drop-down


    I have a date field on a form that shows a drop down beside it and then the calendar. How do i get rid of the arrows and why are they there?

    Also, if i have a calculated field in a form, how can i get that to update in the table?

    Is the control a combobox? You say 'arrows' - plural - what arrows? Try a textbox instead.

    Why do you want to save calculated data? This requires code (macro or VBA).

    Are you referring to the "show date picker" property?
    The options are "For Dates" or "Never".
    Try using "Never".
