Is there a way to prevent a user from back dating a form in ECollect?

All Form responses have a Time Stamp in the Date column, instead of worrying about back dating you can use time stamp in the form reports.

If you have your own date field question on the form you can add validation to set a minimum date to prevent people from entering a date prior to a specific date. It would be nice to be able to enter a code like Today or Sysdate in the validation but I don't believe that functionality exists.

Hi Doug! Yes I was hoping I could have add those codes to prevent the parents from entering a date earlier than today's date. How would i add the validation to the minimum date field? Just enter a date?

If you go into the Survey Item that has the date field. Select that date field and on the left go down to the very bottom and click the Custom Data Validation pop out icon:

Then from here you can put a MIN and MAX date in:
