Date triggering Workflow rule

Date triggering Workflow rule

I have a function triggered by a workflow rule. The function takes a date and creates a task for that date and fills in a field with the name of the day for that date. It also updates the status field of the record. The workflow rule is set to run whenever a record is created or edited. If the date field is empty and I enter a date, it works fine. However, if I merely change the date, nothing happens. If I clear the date, and then enter a new date it works. Is there a way to make it trigger the function just by editing the date without having to clear it first?
