Default date format

I have a cell where people type in a date. The format is "mm/dd/yyyy" (e.g.
11/18/2005). I want to write a "If" statement to check whether the user
types in a date in that cell. If they leave it blank or type anything else,
I want to have a message box comes up. So this is what I have, and it's not
working.

If ActiveSheet.Range("B8").NumberFormat < "m/d/yyyy" Then
MsgBox "Please enter a date in cell B8.", , "Warning!"

Please help. Thanks.
