Hi Jeff, and everybody: When you post a question like this, please say what version of Drupal you're talking about. The D7 answer to this question is a fair bit different from the D6 answer.<br><br>-Randy<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I have a birthdate date field in a form where I am using #after_build to modify. The modifications to the drop down values are:<br>
- add a "select month", "select day", and "select year" options to their respective drop downs<br>
- change the range of years in the year drop down<br>
<br>
This field(s) is not required. However, if I don't select anything in the drop downs and leave each on the "select month/day/year" values, Drupal validation tells me that the selected date is not valid.<br>
<br>
How can I tell Drupal to skip this validation? Even if I try to validate this field in hook_form_validate it still tells me the data is invalid.<br>
