Looked at Joomla Calander documentation ( docs.joomla.org/Calendar_form_field_type ) - no future date option there. I've created a custom rule under models called futuredate, that will test the date and return false if date is in the past, but this is server side validation, and is only called on submission. If validation fails, user has to go back and fill out/submit the form again. Not the best user experience.

You can validate a future date like this:

- copy the xml file of the form to your fork/model/forms/table.xml
- remove all fields except the one you want to validate
- add class="validate[future[now]]" to the parameters
- fork the form.php (table_form.php or so)
- add code outside the php tags:

<script>
jQuery.validationEngineLanguage.allRules.future = {
    "alertText" : '<span class="msg-prefix">• </span>Select a date after '
};
</script>

Something like that should work
