Hi Lance,

I've found my solution using date_select. Strangely, it takes the hash
as the first element, then the key as the second. (or am i reading
this all wrong?)
Anyway, now it works fine, thanks for your help!

For future reference:
put this in the relevant helper, 'geboortedatum' is the field name
(Dutch for birthdate) and the controller is Admin::LeerlingController.
----%<-----
module Admin::LeerlingHelper
def geboortedatum_form_column(record, input_name)
date_select(:record, :geboortedatum, :order =>
[:day, :month, :year], :start_year => 1970, :end_year => 2000)
end
end
----%<-----
