validate date =

[lakeside]

I have a date field, and want to set validation. One of the dates they can enter is 9/9/2009.

I set validate by calculation to "date = 9/9/2009" but I always get the validation error message no matter how I enter the date. Where am I going wrong?

Thanks.

I got it. I remembered some help I'd gotten previously to a similar problem.

The correct formula is:

date = date(9,9,2009)
