Date greater than date in another field

[Olly]

I need a date validation that will not allow a date to be entered in
the field if it occurs before a date in another field (StartDate). But
I cannot find any information on how to do this.

Behind the field's before update event (in the form, not the table) place
the following code:

If Me![YourFieldName] < Me![StartDate] Then
Msgbox "The date you have entered is and earlier date than the Start
Date."
Cancel = True
End If
