I managed to sort it out using this code:     var fldDate = this.getField("DOB").value;     var strDate = "12122004";     fldDate = fldDate.toString();     app.alert("Field Date is " + fldDate + " and the type is : " + typeof fldDate);     app.alert("String Date is " + strDate + " and the type is : ...

My issue is that this.rawValue always seems to be empty?

Well I am doing this in Acrobat, but I don't think that should matter should it?Acrobat still has a validate event. I have also tried in the "On blur" event.

Geckoz100‌ I really like what your code does, or should do but I cant get it to work.If paste the code into a custom validation script or even a on blue event for a date field nothing happens.I watched the value of newDate = this.rawValue but it is always undefined?What am I missing?Cheers-Al
