Thanks Ian, Randy, and Michael! Your suggestions combined helped me. Now I understand (and better appreciate) using <cfqueryparam> especially since it also makes things more secure.
This line worked: <CFQUERYPARAM VALUE="#form.side1collectionsdate#" CFSQLTYPE="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" null="#yesNoFormat(NOT len(trim(form.side1collectionsdate)))#"> Robert O. -----Original Message----- From: Ian Skinner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2005 1:06 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: OT SQL date/time default That is probably your problem. I presume that form.formdate is a text field. And a empty text field is '' which is completely different then NULL. So you are inserting a value into the date field, a value of an empty string, but a value none the less. For situations like this and many other good reasons you should read up on the <cfqueryparam> tag. To fix your date issue trying changing this line ...'#form.formdate#', To <cfqueryparam value="#form.formdate#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_date" null="#yesNoFormat(NOT len(trim(form.formdate)))#"> Now looking at your code example, you seem to be inserting your date as a string, not a date? Is the field in the database a date field or a char|varchar field? PS you should change your other inserts to queryparams as well. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code. C code run. Run code run.
