Thanks for the reply Ken that does work well. I'd like to try to restrict the date to a pattern of mm/dd/yyyy. Using "date" allow dates such as mm/d/y. Do you know how to parse the date string to match mm/dd/yyyy only?

The > pattern I'm trying to check is: mm/dd/yyyy You should be able to just say: if pDateToCheck is a date then ... No need to run a function unless you are planning on checking a bunch of other date formats that aren't support by the "is a date" approach (like MySQL's YYYY-MM-DD)...
