So, assuming that you are positioned on the right record in your target view
the combo.Valid should look like:

REPLACE mytargetview.mydatefield WITH CTOD(this.value) IN mytargetview

>>>Veronica, combo and listbox support only character or numeric data types as controlsource. But you may not use the contolsource property, say you have combo.RowSourceType 3 -SQL Statement and RowSource is:
>>>
>>>select dtoc(birth_date) from employee into cursor cdate
>>>
>>>Then in combo.Valid you have:
>>>
>>>REPLACE sometable.somedate WITH CTOD(this.value)
>>>
>>
>>You may also fill the combobox with DATE data type, but combo.value will be character anyways.
