Default Prevent user moving to next control


hello, I have a box used exclusivley for date entry. If someone does not
enter it in this format "DD/MM/YYYY" then a msgbox appears saying "Date
must be entered in this format...". When this incorrect entry occurs I
would like to force the user to stay in the date box until he has
entered correctly. I have tried date1.setfocus, date1.tabstop and
everything else I can think of but nothing is working.

This is my code at the minute

Public Sub Date1_AfterUpdate()
If Date1.Value = Format(Date1.Value, "DD/MM/YYYY") Then
Else
MsgBox "Date must be entered in this format: DD/MM/YYYY"
End If

End Sub

Please help!!!

Thank You
