Valid dates within Flash without components? possible?

Is it possible to ensure valid dates within flash without using the Date components?

I am making a form where the user defines both their date of birth and a reservation date.
Sadly, I have been told that my database spits nuts and bolts if you give it an invalid date.

Have tryed the Date component. It works well for reservations. But when it comes to Date of Birth it wouldn’t work cause scrolling 20 odd years month by month would be too painful for a user.

I know its a bit of a big question. I will get someone to do it with ASP if this is too much of a nightmare in Flash.

Cheers for any help or suggestions… :chinaman:
