I have a site where a user is only supposed to register for one deal. I have 
this query:

<cfquery datasource="#Request.LiveDSN#" name="qCheckUserTable">
        SELECT Name, Birthdate, Email
        FROM Users
        WHERE Name = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" 
value="#Form.SHIPTONAME#" />
        AND Birthdate = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" 
value="#Birthdate#" /> 
        OR Email = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" 
value="#Form.Email#" />
</cfquery>

I then do this:

<cfif qCheckUserTable.RecordCount GT 0>

<cfinclude template="header.cfm">
<BR><BR><BR>    
        <cfoutput>#Form.SHIPTONAME#</cfoutput>,
    It appears that you have already registered for this deal. You can click 
the back button and enter another's information or quit the application. You 
can only register an individual for one deal only. 
    <cfinclude template="footer.cfm">
    <cfabort>
<cfelse>

blah blah blah

Well today someone managed to register more than once. In the db, the only 
difference is the birthdate, which should not matter since I am checking for 
their name, birthdate or email. The name and email in both records are 
identical. I ran this query against the db several times using different 
birth-dates and every time I get the records, which means the name/email search 
is working.  I suspect that this person tried for a while to get around this 
since her registrations were about an hour apart. Is there something that I am 
overlooking in the query? How would she have gotten by this? I am guessing I 
missed something very simple.

Thanks,

Bruce
