Okay so I am creating a web app thats essentially a workout journal. I created a database table for each entry that holds the date, workoutname, exercises, etc… I was wondering if in my form for creating a new entry I can create 3 drop down lists for the date – day, month, and time and have each of their values be combined to form the one date field (a string) in my entry table.

does that for you. If you need to do that manually inspect the html output this has and mimic it in your code. See also http://apidock.com/rails/ActionView/Helpers/DateHelper/datetime_select.
