I want that person should be at least 5 days old, so I created a function for that and added it to onValidate event. But I am not getting any error if I entered wrong date.

This is the function I wrote

This is the form field.

This is function added to event.

I have tried using two code  
1.

```plaintext
    const date = new Date(five.field.DateOfBirth);
    let diffInMilliseconds = new Date() - date;

    let diffInDays = diffInMilliseconds / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24);

    if(diffInDays < 5){
        return five.createError(result, 'Needs to be atleast 5 days old');
    }
    
    return five.sucess(result);
}

```

1. 

```auto
function CheckBirthDate(sender, context, result) {
    const date = new Date(sender.value);
    let diffInMilliseconds = new Date() - date;

    let diffInDays = diffInMilliseconds / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24);

    if(diffInDays < 5){
        return five.createError(result, 'Needs to be atleast 5 days old');
    }
    
    return five.sucess(result);
}

```

Both did not work. What am I doing wrong? Can someone help, please

Thanks!

Hi Shweta,

Try moving the function from the `onValidate` event to the `onComplete` event of the form and see if it works correctly,

also, I have noticed a typographical error in your code.  
instead of:

> return five.sucess(result);

It should be:

> return five.success(result);

Let me know if this works
