How do you check if a date entered is valid

[RohanWest]

Hi there how do you check if a date entered into a text box is a valid entry......

We dont want to use a date picker because they look really odd in our program, any ideas?

Rohan

Try this:

Dim sDate As String
sDate = Text1.Text

If IsDate(sDate) then
    'Enter wanted code here
End If

Hope this helps!

well, off the top of my head i would:


1. disallow the entry of letters with the use of isnumeric

2. check to make sure the propor format was entered
use instr to find 2 /'s
3. make sure the months are right
if month > 12 or month < 12

4. make sure the days are right
if days > 31 or days < 0 then

if Month = 3 then
if days > 28

hmm.. that should be about it...
