Possible click Ctrl + Alt + V and in the variables Overview

Make a variable like

vselecteddate =makedate(GetFieldSelections(Year),GetFieldSelections(NumMonth),GetFieldSelections(Day) )

Note:- Month field will be Number month values.

you can use variables,not sure how your year,month,day list boxes setup, if user is able to select multiple values (ex:2010,2011) makedate wont work ...

GetFieldSelections if you have one selected value

this (or some other aggr function) if you want also manage no selections or many selected values

=MakeDate(max(Year), MAX(NumMonth), max(Day))

You are welcome Yes you can use variables but check which type of data in the fields you have and where you use makedate functions.
