>>Allan, If the control source is a date field then VFP will check its contents according to the current SET DATE setting. If you do not want VFP to check the date then you need to bypass it by making it a char field instead and then doing your own date formating and checking.

>>The other possible option is to make sure you SET DATE to the user selected preference. But even then if the user enters an invalid date then I think VFP will give a warning.
