When entering data in the text fields of the DTPicker control, the validate event uses the old value, not the new value. I need to force the user to enter a correct value based on other dates, the change event will trap but can't force focus to remain on the current control. Also, when selecting the date from the dropdown, the validate event works but there are multiple change events fired as the user scrolls to the correct date. Is there any thing I can do besides finding a 3rd party control? Thanks... [sig][/sig]
