AH! Ok i see what the difference is. You're giving it a string, not
a date object. That's where I was falling over - i was trying ot
give it a date object, and of course you can't create an invalid date
object.
So createdate was throwing an error before it even got to the
validation function
onth this way..

The problem is i'm building the date from 3 dropdo
The problem is i'm building the date from 3 dropdowns for day, month
and year, so the day dropdown has 1-31 on it. Therefore it's
possible to select 31/Feb/2009.
Then if you try to validate the date from the form, by feeding those
three values into the LSIsDate() function, or the IsValid(Date
Did you try the LSIsDate function?

I could never get a reliable result from the various 'parsedate' functions...
In the end I wrote my own function to create dates from strings. It looks for a
variety of delimiters then extracts day, month, year; or month, year, day; or
even year, month, day; depending on how it was set up.
The
have you set the locale? I would be using the LS* functions for this stuff
