Roger, >What about using null="#isDate(form.contributed)#" ?
Would you want to add the yesNoFormat before the isDate as in Dave's suggestion? As to the second part, I am checking using ColdFusion's cfform methods within <cfinput> prior to submitting the information. Would your suggestion be a good way to provide more security or should I do more between the form input and the cfqueryparam? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:339206 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
