Thats right Chintan.

Here, by specified date I meant the format you want the date. i.e: DD-MM-YYYY or MM-DD-YYYY etc.

It's just an example.

Hi Kishore -

I just gave a sample script.

if (data.subform1.DATE.format != 'specified format')

then

xfa.host.messageBox("Please enter DATE in YYYY-MM-DD format only")

endif

You should write your subform etc where you have declared DATE field. Similarly, you should also specify your desired format.

I hope it helps.

Kishore,

The "specified format" has to be replaced with the format you have i.e DD-MM-YYYY.

Hi -

Try this. May be it would help.

You can write formcalc script on DATE field in 'preSubmit' event to validate the specified format and a message to pop up.

FormCalc script -

if (data.subform1.DATE.format != 'specified format')

then

xfa.host.messageBox("Please enter DATE in YYYY-MM-DD format only")

endif

As you have already specified the DATE format in paletts -> objects -> bindings, it will not accept any other format entered. The above script will let a message to pop up displaying the same.
