    I haven't been able to figure this out either, and am very interested in any solutions anyone has.

    Meanwhile, rfgeor, as a quick kludge, what I've done is to create a hidden date field with the proper calendar settings, and added a button at the parent table level that forces the calculated date into the hidden date field.

    myHiddenDateField  := 'calculated date field'

    Okay! I figured out how to do it. Add a Date field and name it anything you like or select another field using "Show As." Next, select Table with Form. Click the gear wheel and select Update Multiple Records. Go to the Date field you created and check "Assign a calculated value," then drag the visible date field you want to duplicate as the formula.
