Condition using a date less 3 years on a form

Question

II a person enters a date, that is less than 3 years from today. The message would open and when they close the message the form would also. The field is currently a date field m/dd/yy format. No other validation or calculations currently set on the field. The field they would be entering the date in is called APPOINTMENTDATE.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

You can use this code as the field's custom validation script:

if (event.value) {
    var d1 = util.scand("m/dd/yy", event.value);
    var d2 = new Date();
    d2.setFullYear(d2.getFullYear()+3);
    if (d1.getTime()<d2.getTime()) {
        app.alert("Error! The entered date is less than three years from today.");
        event.rc = false;
    }
}

If I wanted to use a specific date say 4/01/16 would it be this

if (event.value) {

var d1 = util.scand("m/dd/yy", event.value);

var d2 = util.scand("m/dd/yy", 4/01/19);

if (d1)<d2.) {

app.alert("Error! At this time you are not Eligible to file this application. Your appointment date must be before April 1, 2016.");

event.rc = false;

}
