>I have century on and am using the rollover function, but our client (big money client) insists that I make the date fields so the user has to enter the complete date 02/19/1998. Right now I am using a text field with a controlsource being a date field from the table/view. Does anybody have a clue how I can do this. I've tried checking the length of the field on valid and it has already changed it to the full length. VFP 5

I just test the characters after the last "/" to make sure there are not less then 4. I'm sure this is not the best way, but its simple.

len(allt(thisform.txtDate.text)) - rat("/", allt (thisform.txtDate.text)) < 4
