&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m revising an IP form, and I want to change a data picker. Right now the datapicker is manually operated so to say. Users have to insert the date themselves. However, to prevent FRAUD with the dates, I want it to automatically display today&amp;#39;s date. I have managed to find out how to do this. By un-checking the &amp;quot;update this value...&amp;quot; box, it shouldn&amp;#39;t change when the next day the form is re-opened by an other person to edit other fields (it&amp;#39;s a co-op form). Also, I&amp;#39;ve eliminated the possibility to edit the automatically selected date manually (for users) by putting it in a hidden field. This way the box&amp;#39;s name stays the same, so meta-data isn&amp;#39;t changed and I don&amp;#39;t have to screw around with formula&amp;#39;s and rules. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, this sounds perfect, and I think I&amp;#39;m the king of infopath (though I&amp;#39;m most likely not). However, I&amp;#39;m wondering if publishing this new form will have an impact on the forms already submitted (about 450-500 forms). If those forms all decide that they should rethink their own dates bacause of the new form template, I&amp;#39;m pretty much boned :( &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In other words, can someone tell me if these dates will change if I publish the new template?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks!&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
