Thanks Thad. I guess I'll just keep this thing nice and simple then.

vantagebasic does not support conditional statements to the best of my
knowledge.
You would have to launch a progress program from vantagebasic that checks
the status of the the VB form, and populates it if necessary. You don't need
provision to write programs that write to vantagebasic fields.
Example progress programs that interface with vantagebasic are found within
the vantage/vbp/test/ directory.
I have not as of yet used VB forms for anything other than simple fill-in
fields when we run out of user fields.

OK. Thanks to a bunch of help... I've skipped questions 1, 3, and 4 as
being either unnecessary or over my head.
On Question #2, I modified Sarah's suggestion by using the "set" statement
"set DATE-FIELD_1.scrvalue={OrderRel.NeedByDate.scrvalue}" and that works.
Now for Part B to Question #2. If I have previously entered a date in my
Date01 field, then I DON'T want the default NeedByDate to update the Date01
field when I access my VB Form. I only want it to do this the first time.
Is there a simple statement that can check this condition the first time?

Newby on VB forms here. I want to add a simple date field for the Order
Release. I've got that working. Here are my additional questions...
1. Can the OrderRel.Date01 be renamed so that Crystal sees it by a
different name (ie. ActualShipDate).
2. Can you have the Date01 default to the "Need By Date" when you click on
the VB form button for the release?
If so, how would I go about doing that?
3. Is there a way to delete a VB form after you no longer need it (so the
button does not show up on the wrong screen and confuse the user). I was
toying with the OrderHed VB form and no longer want to use it or have the
button highlighted on the Sales Order Screen.
4. If I create a VB form on a test database, can I then copy it to the
live database rather than have to recreate it from scratch again?
Thanks for any and all help.
