here is small code that compare current date with your stored date. My date Format is YYYY-MM-DD, i Believe,you are smart Enough to modify the code according to your need.

BOOL ::FnCheckForValidDates(CString szEndDate)
{

//Get Current date
CTime TodayDate=CTime::GetCurrentTime();

int nYear,nMonth,nDay;
//date format YYYY-MM-DD

///Extract Year
nYear=\_ttoi(szEndDate.Left(szEndDate.Find('-')));

///remove the Year from String
	szEndDate.Replace(szEndDate.Left(szEndDate.Find('-')),"");
///Replace Extra '-'
	szEndDate.TrimLeft('-');

///Extract Month
nMonth=_ttoi(szEndDate.Left(szEndDate.Find('-')));

///remove the Year from String
	szEndDate.Replace(szEndDate.Left(szEndDate.Find('-')),"");
///Replace Extra '-'
	szEndDate.TrimLeft('-');

///Extract Day
	nDay=\_ttoi(szEndDate);


///comparison Routine
///first Check year

	if(TodayDate.GetYear()>nYear)
		return FALSE;

	if(TodayDate.GetMonth()>nMonth)
		return FALSE;

	if(TodayDate.GetDay()>nDay)
		return FALSE;
