The Field from which this DATEPICKER will receive it’s data, or in other words, the field that this DATEPICKER will be ‘bound’ to.

This property determines the default value that will be used to populate this DATEPICKER whenever a new record is added.  For example, if you have a date field, you could automatically populate this field with the current date by entering the following for the DEFAULT property:

DATE()

Tag

You can use the Tag property to specify or determine the string that identifies the name of a DATEPICKER.  Thereafter, the contents of that DATEPICKER can be referred to elsewhere in the application using the syntax ~TAGNAME~.
