>I think I can take care of the validation of the century ok with some valid code. My problem is, when I enter 02/29/00, I can't leave the textbox and the valid code does not fire. I realize Christof is talking about Fox 2.6, but is the ON READERROR stuff in the advisor article the direction I need to be looking at?

I just put a messagebox in the error event an it doesn't fire either.

Still looking.
