Hi,

I'm not sure I follow exactly your logic, but here are some points:

1. It's better to put validation into the Valid method of your date textbox, not into keypress method.

2. If you want to check entered date to be in the range of current date, date - 6 months, you may use something like this:

ldMinDate = gomonth(date(),-6) && 6 months prior to the current date
ldMaxDate = date()

if not between(thisform.txtDate.value, m.ldMinDate, m.ldMaxDate)
   =messagebox(...)
   return 0 && to keep the focus on the date field
endif
