i'm not sure what you want to acomplish with that procedure DATE.
you have a Repeat cycle for reading an valid year(current year or year+2 ).
after the year is valid then you try to get an valid month only ONCE. You make only ONE attemp to get the month.
after you have a repeat cycle for getting a correct day.

i think this should work


if something is not correct, please excuse i only tried to modify it in delphi without checking the syntax:cheesy:.if there is a problem please run it step by step.

best regards,
