    One simple and easy solution if you are not comfortable with queries, links, etc - create a text box beside the date field and type in what you want it to say. It will never change unless you want to show different verbiage. Open your Form in layout view, click on design, select TEXT BOX (be careful not to select label!), and place where you want it in the form, then type in the description as you want it to appear. Hope this helps!
