I need help please! Is there a way to input a date into a form text box and
have that date autofill a field in a table?
 
If the textbox is bound to a field, in the table your form is based on, it
will store the value in that field whenever you change it.

Ummm...

sure. That's how forms work. That's what forms are *for*!

Just have the Form based on the table, and set the Control Source of the
textbox to the name of the field. When you type a date (or other value) into
the textbox and either move off the record or close the form, that data will
be written into the table.
