Supporting multiple date formats is a great idea and reduces errors. I'd suggest looking into the flexible date/time picker used in iCal ( http://is.gd/9hPY) which is an array of date/time fields masquerading as one text field. Arrow up/down lets you step the number up/down and arrow left/right (and tab/shirt+tab) provides navigation inside the field.
The calendar pattern found Yahoo Pattern Library http://is.gd/9hQp is perhaps even better suited to this task if the user is not already looking at a calendar. I'll be so bold as to suggest that using individual drop-downs for year, month and day is inflexible and should now be considered an outdated practice. - Fredrik ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
