Hmm, Now that you mention it I do remember cold fusion having some kind of checking ability like this. It seems that if the field is called "due", it would still show up on my list of fieldnames. This is not happening.
Because of the database_design I cannot change the name of my fields. Is there any way I can turn this feature off?

Therefore the form field is in fact called "ticketXXdue" rather than "ticketXXdue_date". Just change the name of the field to not end with "_date" ("_required" or a few other reserved names).

I've got a form which posts to a Cold fusion page. One of the form elements is: <INPUT SIZE="25" NAME="ticketXXdue_date" TYPE="text" MAXLENGTH="50" SIZE="25" VALUE="" MAXLENGTH="50"> When I look at my Cold Fusion Debugging information on the page that is supposed to use this form: FIELDNAMES=TICKETXXTYPE_ID,TICKETXXCATEGORY_ID,TICKETXXDESCRIPTION,TICKET_AC TIONXXTICKET_OWNER_ID,TICKET_ACTIONXXTECHGROUP_ID TICKET_ACTIONXXTECHGROUP_ID=0 TICKET_ACTIONXXTICKET_OWNER_ID=1 TICKETXXCATEGORY_ID=4 TICKETXXDESCRIPTION=dink TICKETXXDUE_DATE=10-26-01 TICKETXXREMIND_DATE= TICKETXXTYPE_ID=2 When I go through the output from the form.fieldnames: TICKETXXTYPE_ID,TICKETXXCATEGORY_ID,TICKETXXDESCRIPTION,TICKET_ACTIONXXTICKE T_OWNER_ID,TICKET_ACTIONXXTECHGROUP_ID As you can see, the due_date (along with the remind_date) are not showing up! Consequently my Database is not inserting this field and my application is not behaving the way I want it. When I change the fieldname to anything but due_date (say TICKETXXDUE_DODO) It will show up. It seems to me like there is something that the Cold fusion server does to form entries that contain a _date in their name. But I cannot verify this. Has anyone else had experience with this? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your ad could be here.
