My form uses an input date field which consistst of DD.MM.YYYY.

Display pattern, edit pattern, validation pattern and date pattern has been set to DD.MM.YYYY.

"Validation Pattern Message"-box has been set to checked.

"Validation Script Message"-box is not checked.

1. When I type: 313101

the system converts the digits to the date 01.01.3131

2. When I type: 3131

the system converts the digits to the date 01.01.3131

3. When I type: 31

I get an error message "Date is not valid."

I need a form to throw an error message if the user doesn`t type the correct input

DD.MM.YYYY. (01.03.2009)

Thanks in advance.

You should also set the display pattern. Now the program appears to take UTC dates and fit them to your format. You probably will need to write a validation script to have a tight validation and add the script message. The validation script should return either a true value for passing the validation test and false for failing the validation test.
