Undo changing value of DatePicker control? 1

I have a form with a Datepicker control. Once the date changes, there are some actions that need to be performed ... however, I'd like the user to be aware of these changes, and allow the user to cancel out, restoring the DatePicker's original value. This would be analogous I suppose to code written for the BeforeUpdate event in VBA.

However, I'm not seeing an Undo method being exposed for the DatePicker control.

Is there a fast easy way to restore the original value of the DatePicker control if the user responds that they do not wish to continue?

Two ways I'd thought of accomplishing this:

1. Text box that holds the "old" value of the DatePicker control; this value is copied back into DatePicker if the user decides not to proceed with the new date

2. Alert the user what effects the date change will have, and require a manual button click to do the recalc; user can always change the date back at that point.

#1 seems easier, but I wanted to let you know I was at least trying to think things through here :)

Appreciate your help and insight.

1) Not necessarily a textbox to store the value. You can have a variable dim as date.
2) Alert the user with a YesNo messagebox to recalculate or cancel
