depending on how you're handling the data, isDate can give you some
funkiness. There are a lot of values which are considered "valid date
objects" which don't fit your actual needs for a date. I'd go with Bob's
suggestion of a regex.
eg.
#isdate("403")# -- NO
#isdate("4/03")# -- YES
#isdate("4-03")# -- YES
#isdate("4.03")# -- YES
#isdate("1030")# -- NO
