When I initiated this thread, I suspected that might be the case, and agree that it raises the bar to have the record filled in automatically by the framework.  What would it take to add a validation to the date field, where a valid value is say a 3 month range from the order date?

I'm not sure, Nathan.  And I don't say that flippantly; I THINK you can 
specify a range and use a field as one of the range boundaries, but I'm 
not certain, and it's really something of a moot point.  Obviously, 
there will come a time when the editing will require business logic - 
actual code.  But the good news is that adding the EGL code is very simple.

I was able to easily create the date, and add an interval of three 
months.  I was unable, however, to add the date range as easily as I had 
expected.
