Hi You may put the following code somewhere (I don’t know where) in CU 1: IF NOT( FORMAT(TODAY())= FORMAT(TODAY,0,'<month,2>/<day,2>/<year,2>')) THEN ERROR('wrong date'); bye André

I feel users should never be forced to use some date format, just because your application thinks they should. If you are willing to share some more of the background of your application, we might be able to help you find a more user-friendly, Navision-style solution.

So you think my solution is not Navision style?[V][8D] Navision as itself is often not Navision style [}:)]! But mainly you are right [:D]. bye André
