Date textbox error handler

[johnbuckley]

How do I create an error handler for a date formatted textbox? [textbox.value=ctod(' / / ')] VFP6.

A default handler kicks in when an invalid date is entered and I can't find a way to stop it whatever code I put in the error event.

I want an invalid date to generate a messagebox to conform with other checks made in the valid event.

Thanks

John

John,

One way to do this would be to set the textbox's StrictDateEntry property to 0, and then write your own checking code in the Valid event.
