I would like the appropriate option to be selected based on the current date. I was thinking that there would be an easy way to do this, I can't find it.

IF DATE >= &quot;April 1&quot; AND <= &quot;June 30&quot; THEN ???(Option 1 would be defaulted)
ELSEIF DATE >= &quot;July 1&quot; AND <= &quot;September 30&quot; THEN ???
ELSEIF DATE >= &quot;October 1&quot; AND <= &quot;December 31&quot; THEN ???
ELSE ???
END IF

<SELECT NAME=&quot;reportingperiod&quot;>
<OPTION VALUE=1>Apr 1 - Jun 30</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE=2>Jul 1 - Sep 30</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE=3>Oct 1 - Dec 31</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE=4>Jan 1 - Mar 31</OPTION>
</SELECT>

Thank you!
