I need validation on the SERVER side, and I do not use VBScript because this is a public website which may use browsers which do not support VBScrip and may not allow scripting at all.

Thanks

>I guess client side (browser) would be appropriate. If you use VBScript then IsDate() is the way to go. It will accept a number of short and long date formats (in a string expression) and return True if the date is valid. After you verify that it is a valid date you can format it before sending it to the server with the Format() function.

>>I need to validate web data which is by default type string. The fields which are most difficult to validate are DATE type. I have written code over the years to validate such strings but I never felt satisfied that I was thorough. does anyone have any code suggestions for this validation. what I am interested in is strictly a valid date.
