I wasn't aware that it's not documented and actually (I think) it's backward compatibility :) MS just stated 'Backward compatibility use ... instead' for them but still there is no actual replacement for some. If they didn't do the same for '@..Get/Say' it would be documented :) Before replying I checked Textbox help and I saw another thing I didn't know before :)
'If the text box is used to edit a date or datetime value and the entire value is selected, you can press + or - to increment or decrement the value by one day.'

>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.
