disable a button relative to a date

[Edvhdy]

Hello,

I have a daily entry app. wants the user to be able to add entries from the previous month up to the 5th of the current month.

Example: We are August 4th, the user can register an entry for the month of July. But if it's August 6, he can't catch data for the month of July.

So I put a condition in the DisplayMode of the validate button.

if (Text (_dateSelected; "[$ -fr] mmmm yyyy") <> Text (Now (); "[$ -fr] mmmm yyyy"); DisplayMode.Disabled; DisplayMode.Edit)

but how to set up the possibility for the user to record entries from the previous month until the 5th of the current month?

Thank you

Make the user select a date using a DatePicker.  Then put this code in the DisplayMode of your validate button.

If(
    DatePicker1.SelectedDate <= Date(Year(Today()),Month(Today()), 5)
    And DatePicker1.SelectedDate >= Date(Year(Today()),Month(Today())-1, 1),
    DisplayMode.Edit,
    DisplayMode.View
)
