Steve, As for the CFML construct not found message, I'm going out on a limb and guessing it's because you have the pound sign in the regular expression. Somehow that's messing up a matching set of pound signs for CFML parsing. Check your code around that statement and see where else you're using the pound signs. Also check that if you have this pattern inside a CFOUTPUT statement, then you'll need to escape it with the double ##.

One issue the regex works differently in IE6 and Firefox. I didn't know the regex would behave differently in these browsers. The main issue is validating the use of character class (@#$^_*). Do I need to escape these? I have tried several ways of setting up the regex. I get an "Invalid CFML construct found" error. ^(?=.*[A-Za-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[0-9])(?!.*[^A-Za-z0-9])(?=.*[ @#$^_*])(?!.*s).{8,127}$ ^(?=.*[A-Za-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[0-9])([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (?!.*s).{8,127}$ (?=^.{8,127}$)(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])([EMAIL PROTECTED]).*$ Any guidance would be appreciated - Also can anyone recommend specific books on how to create and understand them better?
