I saw this function for members, but how can this be done for a link? Thank You David

If you want it just for links you'll have to prompt them to type it in a 1980-01-31 format though, presuming that's what mysql is using. Unless you know PHP, in which case you can write a plugin using the beforeaddition function to assemble the input (of selectors perhaps) into that format... like if ($object->objecttype == 'link') $object->birthdate = $object->birthyear .'-'. $object->birthmonth .'-'. $object->birthday;. What I do is store the dates as integers and use strtotime to transform user input into unix timestamps.
