>I have a new form with one text box. In the Init of the form I set notify off and set talk off. When I enter an invalid date for the text box I still get a grey band on the bottom that says invalid date(press space). Isn't notify supposed to rid of this message. What am I missing??

Is there any possibility that some event/method code somewhere else on your form has turned talk/notify back on? Have you traced it in the debugger?
