I'm looking for a way to customize the Date Picker control. The customer needs to go back years instead of just months. Is there an easy way to accomplish this? I've noticed in other date pickers there is a "<<" and ">>" to navigate between years and "<" abd">" to navigate between months. Is there some way to implement this in InfoPath?

Thanks!

I am unaware of any way to do this.

Cool idea. How about adding a button to automatically decrement the date by a year. Then the datepicker control should default to this when it is opened. Just a thought though.

Thanks, Patrick! What would be the best way to approach this idea?

Hi Tracy!
Just add a button to the form that adds or subtracts a big number to the date field. You can play around with the number. Then, clicking on the button will jump the date forward or back. I'd start with a year but I forget if the units are days or something smaller. Anyway, you'll be taking 365 times something. :) Good luck.
