Sylvain --- In the context of what he's doing are you sure about this?

>>>If you drop a textbox on a for with the value property set to =date() you have a txtbox field that will check for a valid date. If you input a invalid date VFP will display a wait window with "Invalid Date".


>PMFJI, but this won't work neither. It don't even get to the Valid() event.

>>The SET NOTIFY-based system messages, I believe, can't be changed. But you can do what you want by SET NOTIFY OFF for the current datasession, then put a WAIT WINDOW NOWAIT with whatever message you like in the Valid event of the textbox. It will "look and feel" the same.
