You may also want do this processing in the query with a case statement
checking if ISDATE(yourDateColumn). ISDATE returns 1 if the input expression
is a valid date; otherwise, it returns 0. (double check syntax in SQL
Server)
something like:
SELECT mycols, newdate =
CASE ISDATE(mydate)
WHEN 1 THEN 'DATEPART(m,mydate)' + '/' + 'DATEPART(d,mydate)' + '/' +
'DATEPART(yyyy,mydate)'
ELSE mydate
Then you just output the column using CF....
don't know what's best for your situation...

Subject: date field
I have a query that returns a field that is either a date or N/A or No or
Now. I want it to output the words if there is words and if there isnt then
do a dateformat on the date. How can I do this?
