Why don't you just check to make sure the mask contains only the chars: "h,H,m,M,s,S,t,T,:" (or whatever the time chars are).

Example: user enters: H:MM:SS TT This is a proepr formatting mask for TIMEFORMAT. However if a user enters: NOTIMEFORMAT or something stupid and off the wall, the timeformat function should blow up. I entered: MONKEY as a mask and the TIMEFORMAT function output: #TimeFormat(Now(),MONKEY)# = 2O'N'K'E'Y I also tried to use IsDate in conjunction with CREATEDATE so I could have a valid date but an invalid time and it returns as a true statement that it is a DATE. There is not IStime function.. anyone have an idea? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
