Hi rakesh,

what i understand from ur question is. if you enter a date, if it is between startdate and enddate, then status should be update with active right?

Workflow Rule like your Date__c is :   And(StartDate__c < Enter_Date__c, Enter_Date__c<EndDate__c)
Field update:                          Status to Active.


Thanks,
Srinivas

1. stardate and end date lies between what ?
2 type of your status field eg picklist, chekbox, boolean
3 updated when ? at insert , update daily etc

Hi Gattam

Create a workflow rule: 

Select the rule if the following: 
criteria are met : formula evaluates to true

Use this formula as:  
AND(Start_Date__c >  TODAY(), End_Date__c <  TODAY())

Once this rule is created, then create a field workflow field update and update your picklist value.
