How to re-create due/start date field for Task form with calender

[Eddie]

I am trying to re-create the Task form to look the same as the original, but
with my own fields also added in. I will then Not Display the original Task
from but only display my own page in the form (which looks and works the same
as the original). This will ensure all data entry is made on one page (tab)
rather than two.

How do I re-create the Due and Start dates fields with the same option to
pick a date from the calender?

P.S. I am a novice.

In versions before Outlook 2007, Outlook has no date picker control available to programmers (which, by the way, is one reason why the first page of the appointment, journal, and task forms is not editable). See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/datepick.htm for controls you can add. Note that I would not consider this a novice design task.

Outlook 2007 includes its own Outlook-aware date and time picker controls for use with the new form regions feature.
