>>Thanks for the tip. I tried Craig's solution which did not seem to help. I looked into Namoi's solution, quite involved. In essence, you can't really used any of the built in date textBox functionality vfp has to offer. Seems there must be an easier way. Stanard request: capture an error in try/catch, but no can do. Any other suggestions? If not, I will try to build Namoi's recommendation into my class
