While you are preparing your brilliant ideas, here is what I am going to try:
1) Replace the datetime picker with a Static Text control that will display the date. 2) Place a DB Calendar on top of the static text control, and hide it. 3) Set the static test to "Use label to RUN eep" 4) In the eep, unhide the calendar control, so that it pops up and user selects a date 5) In the calendar on-exit eep, do the checking, update the static text, and hide the DB Calendar again. I'm hoping your idea is simpler.
