On the page that will call the popup, set your link to something like this:

<A href="javascript:calendar_window=window.open('[popup-name].aspx?formname=Form1.DueDate','calendar_window','width=210,height=188');calendar_window.focus()">
Select New Due Date</A>

You will need to insert a literal control onto your popup page first. In the event method that fires to show your user has selected whatever, you will need to put this string into your literal control:

<script language='javascript'>
window.opener.(Request.QueryString["formname"]).value = '[new value]';
window.close();
</script>

Obviously, replacing the form name item and the new value item with something specific to your situation. Pegmeister
