This is due to the sequence in which the control changes its values. For instance, if the current value MONTH value is a month with 30 days (eg June), then changing the date to 7/31 will cause an error IF the sequence is that the DAY value is changed first, followed by the MONTH value.

I use the following code when initialising a date value

IF NOT EMPTY(EVAL(this.mysource))
this.year = YEAR(EVAL(this.mysource)) && the year must come first in case of leap years (Feb-29)
this.month = 1
this.day = DAY(EVAL(this.mysource))
this.Month = MONTH(EVAL(this.mysource))
ELSE
* we need to clear
this.year = YEAR(DATE())
this.month = 1 && to avoid problem when changing to 31st day
this.day = DAY(DATE())
this.Month = MONTH(DATE())
ENDIF

>Hi all, I have a form which uses a DtPicker control to select a date, the value of the control is set to the DATE() value in the INIT event. Everything was working fine until today. When I try to set the date to 07/31/2003 I get the error message:

The problem seems to be that the dtpicker control does not recognizes the 31th day as a valid day because when I changed the date to for example 08/31/2003 I get the same error message. This error message seems to occur only with this particular day of the month.
