Must be a pretty dum question, but been searching for ages on this one. How do I get the current date to be inserted into a field and validated without a user being able to directly edit the field?

I've done as attached example, but I'm missing the insertion of the current date into the dialog box and if the user changes the date in the dialog box and makes a date formatting error, it doesn't get an error message. How do I do this?

Hi

I can't see your attachment now ( no FM on this pc ), but I think that the solution is simple:

put a flag into the checkbox: validate always.
