Help!! I am very new to Adobe DC. I am trying to add a calendar in which the user can select the date for the date box. I have read most of the Drop down box selections in the discussion area and it's all greek (no offense to anyone greek), to me. Thanks!

Use a text field and set its Format option to Date. If the user has a relatively new version of Acrobat or Reader it will automatically display a calendar widget when they click it.

I know I'm probably overlooking it, but where do I find the Format option?

In Form Edit/Prepare mode, right-click the field and select Properties. You'll see it there.
