Buttons have labels, but fields don't. More properly, "label" is a property of buttons, but not of fields, so the label of fld "lblDate" will return empty. Then you use the binary operator "and" which requires boolean arguments. The engine will get the label of the button (a string of some kind) which evaluates to neither true nor false when treated as a boolean, and empty, which evaluates to neither true nor false when treated as a boolean, and the result of <indeterminate> and <indeterminate>  is false. If you want to concatenate two strings, you should use the "&" operator:
  put "one thing " & "and another thing" into fld "fldTitle"
      will give you
  one thing and another thing
And if you use "&&" then the space will be entered for you:
  put "one thing" && "and another thing" into fld "fldTitle"
      will give you
  one thing and another thing
