John,
To pinpoint two dates:
day1:= Input("Enter First Date - mmddyy",010100,123199,010101);
m1:= Int(day1/10000);
d1:= Int(day1/100) - (m1*100) ;
y1:= If(Mod(day1,100)>30, 1900+Mod(day1,100), 2000+Mod(day1,100));

day2:= Input("Enter Second Date - mmddyy",010100,123199,010101);
m2:= Int(day2/10000);
d2:= Int(day2/100) - (m2*100) ;
y2:= If(Mod(day2,100)>30, 1900+Mod(day2,100), 2000+Mod(day2,100));

val1:= ValueWhen( 1, Month() = m1 AND DayOfMonth() = d1 AND Year() = 
y1, <your value> );
val2:= ValueWhen( 1, Month() = m2 AND DayOfMonth() = d2 AND Year() = 
y2, <your value> );
