It's an old problem, indeed ; but I found that you
could try something like this :
--
on closeField
  put the text of me into tDate
  convert tDate from system date to date
  if the result is not empty then
    answer error \
           "Please enter a date in the format :" && \
           the short system date
    select text of me
  else pass closeField
end closeField
--

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
