>I am using a textbox to allow date entries...actually two text boxes so I can capture a date range. the textboxes are not bound to any data...just used to capture date values to be used in subsequent select statement. My basic question is, what is the best approach to validate the info placed in the text boxes to assure they are indeed dates. I did use formatting on the text boxes, but this doesn't prohibit invalid entries.
