| Don't use a regular expression validator, you are re-inventing the wheel. You can use a Calendar Control to let the user pick a date from a calendar, or you can use a CompareValidator with Type="Date" and Operator="DataTypeCheck". - Jeffhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/JeffS |

| This is the validation expression I use for short dates:\d{1,2}[/-]\d{1,2}[/-]((\d{4})|(\d{2}))I use ((\d{4})|(\d{2})) to allow 4 or 2 numbers /d{2,4} will allow 2-4. I also found I had to use the greater number first when using | {or} later in the expression or it will fail.Ohms... |

| This control is only to validate syntax, but this expression can cut down on bad dates.(([1][012])|([123456789]))[-/](([0123]\d{1})|(\d{1}))[-/](([123]\d{3})|(\d{2}))You will have to validate Date through Datetime object as you posted to verify accual date.Ohms... |
