Message: [QUOTE="Bob Barrows [MVP], post: 4386566"] No. He means that the developer of the page that accepts the user's input should not use a textbox to solicit dates from the user. Instead, use " ... some sort of calendar control or combo box or other such methods of specifying a date so that there is no question about it" Of course, there is no such thing as a combo box in html: you could use three cascading dropdown boxes (you would want the days dropdown to vary depending on the year and month selected). The idea is to pass an unambiguous year, month and day to the server. But these are client-side html/scripting issues that are out of the scope of this asp group which is focussed on server-side problems. For html questions see: [URL]http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?sel=33584039[/URL] For client-side scripting questions, go to microsoft.public.scripting.jscript or comp.lang.javascript [/QUOTE]
