Haven't had a chance to try this yet, but did look at the screenshots.
Great job.

Just to throw in my 2 cents worth though, I think I prefer the original way
over the new way.  If the year and month default to the current year/month,
then all you'd have to set is the day normally.  To me this is much easier
than trying to figure out that the 3rd of next month is 9 days away
since today is the 25th and there's 31 days this month, but if this
month only has 30 days then it's only 8 days away.  Or in cases
where they advertise and upcoming schedule 3-4 weeks ahead and give me the
date, all I have to do is punch in the date and not try to calculate out
how many days that is from now.
