I'm still not entirely sure what you tried. Did you use the Derived
Column task to create a new column using the expression you referred to
in the earlier post? That should certainly handle the 00/00/0000
problem. What it won't handle is the invalid dates problem and the regex
solution seems to be the right path for that.
Again, I'm not entirely sure what you have tried, but I do suggest you
use the message board at the SQLIS site to ask for help with the tools
they provide.
