Carol,
Using Acrobat's own date validation, you could try something like this, substituting your own alerts, in the Custom Validate script of your date field :
if(event.value)
{
var DateOK = AFParseDateEx(event.value,"mm/dd/yyyy");
if(DateOK != null)
{
app.alert("date ok");
event.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", DateOK);
}
else
{
event.value = "";
app.alert("date not ok");
}

I'm a beginner with using javascript in forms. I'd appreciate help with the
following problem:
I have a date field where the user will type in a date value. I want to use
a custom calculation script where no matter what the user types in for the
date, it will reformat it to mm/dd/yyyy. For example, if the user types
"03/29/04" or "March 29, 2004", I want the value to change to "03/29/2004"
automatically.
I don't want to use the format field category because when the user doesn't type the date with this format, an invalid date/time warning pops up that says to make sure the date/time exists and that the format should match the format mm/dd/yyyy. I'd rather write my own warning in the custom calculation script if the user types in anything other than a date.
Thanks.
