To let them type in all numbers is very complicated. You would need your own Format action for a dd/mm/yyyy format. I would suggest just using a Custom date format and entering dd/mm/yyyy and just deal with forcing them to enter the slashes. You could also use our free tool to add a calendar to your form and they could just pick the date.

The easiest way to add an e-mail validation would be to use our free tool.

That is the solution. Just go to Properties of the field, then go to Format, pick Date, then pick Custom then enter dd/mm/yyyy in the field.
