 * Please describe your problem in more detail. Include all your input in both the
   Form section and Mail section of the CF7 interface and a link to your CF7 form
   if possible. If others here are able to understand your actual problem, they 
   may be able and willing to offer a possible solution.

 * Thanks for getting back to me. I actually managed to solve it – sort of. I put
   a date field in, and didn’t realize that the format of the entered date had to
   be so specific.
 * I must say, I’d much prefer to have a date icon that opens up to show a calendar,
   as that is much more intuitive for the user. Is that available, and can I put
   that in somehow?

 * Found the Contact Form 7 Datepicker. Brilliant!
