VB6 Date Validation

[stahorse1]

Hi

I'm using maskEdBox to accept date from the user in this format yyyymmdd, Now I want to validate this date to be a valid date, (i.e the user might input 1234/12/12), and also the date shouldn't be any future date, either with a month or a year, max date should be the current date. please help.

hi,

Why is it when you create an account on most web sites, that there is a separate control for year, month and day?

Why not use a DateTimePicker control?
