Date scripts for DD/MM/YYYY

[marilynr59152174]

I currently have this custom validate script.

1. event.rc = true;

if (event.value) {

var d = util.scand("dd/mm/yyyy", event.value);

if (d==null) {

        app.alert("Please enter a date in dd/mm/yyyy format.");

        event.rc = false;

} else if (d.getFullYear()<1900 || d.getFullYear()>2100) {

        app.alert("Error! Invalid year.");

        event.rc = false;  

}

  }

This works well except it will allow you to put letters 10/nov/2018 and nov/10/2018. I need only numbers and slashes in the field (no letters for month).

What can I add to this script to make this happen?

Format/Date/Custom, does not work with script.

And without script they can enter "01/01/0994"

Format number no decimal, does not work with script either.

You'll need to write your own custom Format and Keystroke scripts to be

able to do it.

That sounds like a good solution, unfortunately I am not very good at creating scripts.

Do you think you can help me out with a custom format and keystroke script?

It would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
