pls help format = 2004-07-09T00:00:00.0000000+08:00 ???

[HELPme]

i hope somebody will help me on this..am still not using sp1 by the way... so please bear with me..

i just want to compare the current date that has a format of 07/14/2004 and then compare it to the xml date data (from infopath) that is
2004-07-09T00:00:00.0000000+08:00.

is there an easier way to compare these two dates without dissecting the date that comes from infopath?

thank you in advance!

The XML date can be formatted into a more recongnizable form.
Open the properties of the control (right click and select Properties)
Click "Format"
Select the format style you want.

Are you trying to say "If CurrentDate != XML Date" then show an error?
You can set conditional formating (Properties / Display tab) to
"field1" "is not equal to" expression "Today()" , set Shading to Red

Does that solve your problem?
