You have to do that yourself (let dtcDate be your DateChooser):

Public Sub dtcDate_Change()
  dtcDate.Value = Max(Now(), dtcDate.Value)
End

Alas, the DateChooser does not support Stop Event in the Change event, so
I always reset the dtcDate.Value to Now() when the user chose a past date.

If you want to reset the date to what the user had chosen before, you must
save that value after each succeeding dtcDate_Change() and change the event
handler in the obvious ways...

(Maybe the above code works because of a bug: it's generally dangerous to
change the value of something during its Change event. To be future-proof
you would wrap the line above into Object.Lock(Last) and Object.Unlock(Last)
lines. Benoit?)

Tobi
