Custom Formula

I stink at formulas.  I am looking for a little help.  We have a date field and a picklist field.  What I would love is when a date is entered into the date field, any date, to require the picklist to be saved with a specific choice.  can anyone help?

If you want to make the picklist required when a date is chosen, then you need to use a validation rule that throws an error when the date field is populated and the picklist is not.
 
But... if you just want to update the picklist with the same value whenever the date field is filled in, then you want to create a workflow rule triggered by the date changing which updates the picklist to the desired value.
 
Hope this points you in the right direction.
