Hassan, I agree.

That is why I always use dynamic pick lists for date selection. [List of
"dates" change depending on which month is selected, and which year for Leap
Year cases]

No mistakes or misunderstood dates!

But, I was just answering his question.

I'm of the mind to answer a question as best I can, I rarely offer "other
ways of doing it".

And I really can't stand it when I get replies of... "Why are you doing that
way? Just do it this way..." or even better... "Just tell your users to
[pick your verb]"

anyway, my solution for dates has been pick lists. No fuss, no muss.
