A newbie seeks some help:

When i exit a DBEdit field (i.e. a date field) after having entered an
illegal date i get something like: '32312' is not a valid date.

How do i change that error message to something else i want (i.e. a
different language) ?

Is it possible to use Edit Masks on DBEdit fields ?. I've tried using
Picture from Database Desktop, but that only works when i enter data
from the Database Desktop and not from DBEdit fields within the
program.

Can i use MaskEdit together with DBEdit fields, and thereby control
the input ?

Jorgen,
Here are two alternatives:

1) Write a BeforePost eventhandler.
2) Write an OnPostError eventHandler.

I prefere the first one, because you have everything in your own hands.
Check if the text in the DBEdit is a valid date. If yes, do nothing;
if no : open a dialog and abort the posting.
In this method you can check every field you want.

Hope this helps and success,
Alfred.
