Barbara, I tried what Rod suggested but found that once I focused the Date edit box, I could not change the value, it just was stuck at today's date. Visually, there is a calendar graphic nested inside the edit box. This graphic when clicked opens up a calendar date picker widget. And this particular calendar date picker widget is completely mouse driven. The only way I was able to enter a new date was to navigate to the calendar graphic in Browse Mode, route the mouse to it, left click. After these steps were completed, the date picker was displayed on the screen. I have found that in most cases that even though the date picker visually appears right by the date edit box, programmatically it is actually positioned at the very bottom of the webpage. This makes the calendar date picker very hard to locate after it is displayed. One trick I have found is that these calendar date pickers are usually marked up as a table. So, with Browse Mode on, I pressed T and found a table with 9 rows and 7 columns. If you navigate the table you will find numbers representing the days in the current month. If you find the date you want, route the mouse and left click. This will close the date picker and enter the date into the edit box. More effort would be required to select a date in a future month. This was accomplished using IE 11 under Windows 10 with Window-Eyes 9.3.1. Now, wasn't that easy. <sarcastic grin> Please take a few minutes to send an email to the owners of this website to report this accessibility problem. A very simple way to help them understand the problem is to tell them to unplug their mouse/disable their touch pad and try to select a new date using the keyboard. This should help them better appreciate how this accessibility barrier negatively impacts many users especially those that rely on the keyboard for computer interaction. If they would like further guidance regarding web accessibility, feel free to refer them to me and I would be happy to spe ak with them.

Hi Barbara, Immediately after the combo boxes where you select the hour, minute, and A.M. and P.M., you can down arrow to the word "date." If you go out of browse mode on that word "date", this is actually an edit box where you can enter the date in the format mm-dd-yyyy.
