Bill - how about this?
on closeField
send checkMe to me in 0 millisecs
end closeField
on checkMe
if me is not a date then
answer error "Not a valid date. Retry?" with "No" or "Yes"
if it is "Yes" then
focus on me
end if
end if
end checkMe
Works fine if you're tabbing between fields but if you click on the card
then the focus will stay with the field no matter what, whereas what you
probably want to do (if you choose 'no') is to focus on nothing.
Something like this maybe...
on checkMe
put the selectedChunk into tSelection
if me is not a date then
answer error "Not a valid date. Retry?" with "No" or "Yes"
if it is "Yes" then
focus on me
else
if tSelection is not empty then
select tSelection
else
focus on nothing
end if
end if
end if
end checkMe
HTH,
