There should be a special field called "Date" so that if this field is in the form, a user can open a sort of new smaller window with a dymaic calendar view so they can choose a date from there. When a date is chosen, it is automatically entered into the "Date" field input area.

Maybe sharing form "widgets" with Flexinode / CCK would be a suitable plan?

I agree that a "Date" filed is needed, but I prefer regular form elements, like the Formproc Date field. Would be nice to have it :)

It's your lucky day, I added two new types to the CVS version of webform 'date' and 'time'. I'd recommend upgrading the entire webform installation to the CVS version, since it also includes some fixes that allow it to display these types properly.

Although I do really like buddha's idea of sharing flexinodes types, our current architecture isn't as complicated as flexinode, especially when it comes to handling files. I wouldn't say it's out of the question, but our current architecture seems to work easily enough for the time. Thanks for the suggestions!

Thanks but does it work for 4.7?

Yes, the date field works on 4.7, but not on 4.6. Make sure you download the cvs version of webform, as it contains several important updates to the date field.
