>You should put SET DATE TO GERMAN and those messages will not show.

The message will always show if you type in an invalid date. If you SET DATE GERMAN, and type in the date as "05.15.2003", you will get the message. No matter what you set the date to, somebody can always type it in wrong.

>>Certain invalid dates cannot be trapped before vfp gives an invalid date message. The only way I know to handle it is to NOT use date types in input text boxes. Use ordinary text in the date text box and write your own date validation code for the valid event. Then change it to a date type for saving into a date field.
