Date validations

hi,

i need to validate dates so that my START date cannot be in the past
and my END date cannot be before the start date.

i am using Datepickers for both dates. i know i have to use the 'NOW' function but i'm not entirely sure how it works.

thanks

    The TDateTime type is actually a floating-point number, which lists the number of days since a certain date. This means that the END date cannot have less days than the START date. In code:
    [code]
    if double(EndDate) < double(StartDate) then
    ShowMessage('End cannot come before begin');
    [/code]
