I could try, but A) I didn't write the code for the date picker (downloaded from the internet) - too complex for my current skill level, and kind of afraid to mess too much with it; and B) still doesn't address the problem if the enduser types the date manually and does not use the date picker.

Perhaps I misspoke... I'm using a text box with a date picker form that the enduser has the option of using. I don't know for sure, but my guess is that about half of the users will type manually because its quicker than reaching for the mouse, but I suspect many of the slower typers and those not used to tabbing through a form will use the date picker form, activated by a small command button placed next to the date text box.

My fault for not being too clear on that.
