calendar control

[Guest]

I have a form which uses a calendar to input the dates. However users are
still typing in the dates. Is there a way to prevent this so that they have
to use the calendar?

Thanks

Lock the date field so that they can't use it.

Doug's answer is correct. I would, however, like to suggest that preventing
entering data directly in any control is not a good idea. A good data entry
user is always much faster typing in values than they are using controls.
When they are forced to use controls, they will find it very frustrating. I
suggest you allow them to use either method. If that makes it necessary you
edit the date for correct entry, then so be it.
