Combining Text and Date

[srm]

I have O2003SP2, WXPSP2. I don't know much about functions and coding
but looking at automating some of my entries into fields. I have all
the fields setup up except two of them. I was wondering if someone
could help.

FIRST:

Field type of Date/Time (Due by field). I send annoucements on the
1st, 7th, 14th and 28th of each month. I'd like for it to
automatically enter one of these dates based on the current date. For
example, if I'm greater than five days out from the next date (1st,
7th, 14th and 28th) use the next date. If its the 1st or 2nd, use the
7th for the next follow up. If its less than five days out, use the
following next date. For example, if its the 3rd - 6th, then use the
14th.

What I have currently is "Date(the date I want) which is OK, but I
always need to change it. Also, the time always reflects 8:00 AM. Is
there a way to reflect the time of "12:00 AM" instead "of 8:00 AM"

SECOND

I have a text field where I would like touse text and enter the value
of today's date. For example"

Here is what I did on June 19, 2006 at the park.

I'd like "June 19, 2006" to always be today's date.

Any help would be greatly appreciate.
