Thanks!  What would your recommendation be, as far as plugin and templating, in re-creating the functionality of a legacy form (originally in Classic ASP) which will do things like make the form visible within a certain date range, put data from form fields into the subject line of the email that gets to recipient(s) (which may also be from form data)?  Thanks!

Your options mostly boil down to [Contact Form](https://github.com/craftcms/contact-form/tree/v1) (free), [Sprout Forms](https://sprout.barrelstrengthdesign.com/craft-plugins/forms) (paid), or [Freeform](https://solspace.com/craft/freeform) (paid). Since your needs seem to be somewhat complex, I'd recommend either Sprout Forms or Freeform.

<p>I'm currently using the A&amp;M Forms plugin and was wondering if I can import fields from the native Craft 2 fields?  I have already created 20 or so fields that I will use in both the native sections and the A&amp;M Forms sections.</p>

I believe A&M Forms stores its fields separately, it does not use the Craft fields that you would use elsewhere. You'll probably need to re-create those fields *through A&M Forms* to be able to access them in your forms.

To be honest, you should probably stop using A&M Forms if you are not in too deep. It was never ported to Craft 3 (and never will be), so your site will be stuck on Craft 2 unless you put in significant effort later to switch form plugins.
