Does anyone know if you can set an expiration date on a
form? I have a form that I have done and I need it to
allow the date to change until 8/1/04. Any suggestions.
Thanks, Malinda

You could use a conditional field in the document template eg
{IF{Date \@ "yyyyMMdd"} <= "20040801" "{CREATEDATE \@ "MM/d/yy" }" "This
form has expired"}
This will allow you to create newly dated forms until the 1st August 2004,
after which it will report that the form has expired.
Use CTRL+F9 to set the various pairs of field boundaries and ALT+F9 to
toggle the display.
