Codings help?

[sreekandan]

Now im doing the project i VB6.0. In that i want to insert the date field into database. In that, if the person enter his Date of birth in a text box in the format of "MM/DD/YYYY" then that field is to be inserted into the database. Now I have the doubt is, if the person enters the Date of birth is not a proper fomat then the message should be like that is "Enter the proper format of Date".So kindly reply me with the code.
