MS Access Validation Rule Desperate help needed

I have to create a whole project using Microfost Access. I have a field which will eventaually contain details of a a list of people's DOBs. I have added an input mask, so that it it displays the place holder __/__/____However, how can I validate this field. For example, not it is possible to type 30/10/1991 [dd/mm/yyyy]. How can this be changed so that it validates it correctly?

No, I need a validation rule to be in Access; my db isn't connected to a website ibn any way.

Table not reading the text box from the FormMS Access Validation Rule

Hello,

On my form I created an automated Text box (Posting Status) that is reading the date of the Expiration Date field (PostingExpiration), comparing it to today date (TextNow), and then automatically filling in text.  For example, if the expiration date is less than today date then the Posting Status will be "Expired".  Like wise, if the expiration date is greater than today date then the Posting Status will be "Active". See my two examples below:

Posting Expiration Date:  5/18/2009  Posting Expiration Date:  8/10/2009

Today Date:  7/20/2009 Today Date:  7/20/2009

Posting Status:  Expired Posting Status:  Active

This is the formula that I created in Posting Status Text box Control Source property:

Control Source:  =IIf([PostingExpiration]>=[TextNow],"Active",IIf([PostingExpiration]<[TextNow],"Expired"," "))

It looks good on the form and is doing what it suppose to do but when I look at the Table, the Posting Status column is blank.  It doesn't look like it is reading it from the Form.

Can someone please help me solve this mystery?

Thank you so much!
