Is there a function in EGL that will edit for a valid date? I have users who are stubborn and don't like to use the calendar helper button, and would rather key in their own dates. This causes problems especially when the application expects a date in MM/dd/yyyy format and they key MM/dd/yy. Need to edit to make sure the date is valid and in the correct format.
