If I can't get the month's calculated that is fine, but I need to populate three different text boxes with different text based on the drop down of the months. I am still getting an error in this script, that I am missing a semicolon somewhere. But if I add // to the begining on the statement it goes through but still does not populate. I've removed all quotations marks and semicolons within the text, so really not sure what to do now. I am putting this in the run custom validation script under the validate tab on the dropdown properties, is there somewhere else I should be it? Is there a way to run it as an action so when I mouse up all three text fields populate?
My current script
