Invalid dates popup a message as "invalid date" if notify is on otherwise control keep the focus. No need for validation in valid event nor lostfocus (provided bound to date or datetime data type). It must be something else hanging the app. You don't need "on readerror" at all and it maybe dangerous to use.
