that doesn't do much for you because you are checking date against itself in
a different format.
this will check to make sure that the data passed is a valid date.
<cfif isdate(form.due_date)>
....
</cfif>
then you can change it's format via dateformat()
good luck,

I want to do check to see if users are entering the date properly in my
form. Is this correct?
<cfif #form.due_date# IS NOT #DateFormat(form.due_date, "mm/dd/yyyy")#>
<XCRIPT LANGUAGE="XavaXcript" TYPE="text/XavaXcript">
<!-- alert ('Your Date entry is
invalid.')location.href='XavaXcript:window.history.back(1)' //-->
</XCRIPT>
<cfabort>
</cfif>
