Subject: [AccessD] OT Permissions

Folks 
 
Some time back John Colby and I requested permission from you all to publish
some of your questions and answers in a new Access book. For various reasons
that project didnt work out. Anyway
 
I am almost finished writing up a new book and would like to do the same
sort of thing in the last chapter. This will only be about 20 pages of your
Q and A stuff and I would like permission to reuse some of your submissions
to the list.
 
If you would be kind enough to give such permissions please email me of
list. If you dont email with permissions I will know not to include anything
from you. Only those Q and As where I have specific permission to use will
be included.
 
Names of contributions will be added into the front page of the book
referring to that chapter.

Hi Dan

Some years ago I posted a general method for situations like yours.
Apply a format string to the textbox and this code:

Private Sub txtDate_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)

 ' Catch invalid date entry.
  With Me!txtDate
    Cancel = Val(.Text) <> Val(Format(.Text, .Format))
    If Cancel = True Then
      DoCmd.Beep
      .Undo
    End If
  End With

End Sub

I was testing a new module and quickly typed '6a' into a date field,
expecting to get an error, but no, the table thinks it's a real date!  Turns
out this will enter 6:00:00 AM 12/30/1899.  Of course my customers need this
'quick entry feature'! 



How can I code to trap this in my form and null the field? 



Thanks!
