Disable moving to the next field until valid data is entered into current field

[Gail]

Hello All,

I have a form that requires 2 dates. Date one is static (today) and
Date two is a date picker and it has to be 7 days after Date one.

At this time if the user selects a date within 7 days the date picker
turns red and a message pops up stating that the date is invalid. What
I would like to do is disable the ability to move to the next field (or
any field) until a valid date is selected or better still I would like
to set Date Two to disallow selecting any date that is not valid that
is open up with the next valid date available.....

I am not a programmer but with good instruction I can add code in the
proper place and edit accordingly (this is how I got the current code
in).

Any assistance or new ideas would be helpful.

Thanks

Gail

Have you already looked into the "OnValidate" event? See

I'm not sure if you can prevent jumping to another field despite invalid
data (I've never tried it myself), but it's worth looking into.
