Folks,

Pls let me know if there is a way to do this. I have a panel which has got a date field in it. Now, this fields can be blank or can have a date. If it's non-blank, I need to validate this date.

I'm using the VER(DATE,IDATE) to do this...But, is there a way to do this only if the date is non-blank.

Pls suggest.

Cheers,
Coolman

coolman,

Can't you check for low-values or spaces for the date field?

Kolusu,

Let me restate the problem once again. The date field on the screen is optional. I mean the user need not enter it at all. But, if he enters it, it should be a valid date. So, checking of spaces/low-values woud not help here

Cheers,
