BeforeUpdate Date field

[johny678]

I have a text field for entering dates on a form and I use the BeforeUpdate event to check whether the user has entered a valid date. But it seems that Access wont let me do the check, instead it displays a message saying that the value entered in the field is not valid, so I cannot display my custom message. Any ideas on how to prevent access from displaying its message???
