Hi Kevan & Folks
It has only stopped working since I upgraded the CF Server from 4.0 to 4.5 ?
Would this have anything to do with it ?
This is the code I am using in my action page..... any help would be most
appreciated
-------------
<cftransaction>
<cfquery name="LOOKUP" datasource="intranetv8">
SELECT Max(eventid) NeweventID
FROM whatson
</cfquery>
<cfif lookup.neweventid is "">
<cfset eventid = 1>
<cfelse>
<cfset eventid = lookup.neweventid + 1>
</cfif>
<!--- Insert contact into the contacts tabel in the tes8 Database --->
<!---- COMBINE MONTH, DAY, AND YEAR INTO A SINGLE VARIABLE ----->
<cfset eventdate = form.event_month & "/" & form.event_day & "/" &
form.event_year>
<cfset eventdate = #CreateODBCDate(eventdate)#>
<cfset eventexpires = form.expires_month & "/" & form.expires_day & "/" &
form.expires_year>
<cfset eventexpires = #CreateODBCDate(eventexpires)#>
<cfset formatted_date = dateformat(eventdate, "MM/DD/YYYY")>
<cfset format_date = dateformat(eventexpires, "MM/DD/YYYY")>
<cfset content = REReplacenocase(content, "</*font[^<>]*>", "", "ALL")>
<cfset content = REReplacenocase(content, "</*span[^<>]*>", "", "ALL")>
<cfif form.uploadfile neq "">
<cffile action="UPLOAD" filefield="Form.UploadFile"
destination="/export/home/docs/intranet/testpages/"
nameconflict="OVERWRITE">
</cfif>
<!--- Make sure that file is of correct type --->
<cfquery datasource="#Application.DSN#" name="insert_query">
INSERT INTO
whatson (
eventid, eventdate, eventexpires, longtitle, location, telephone, email,
url, eventsummary, description, imgsrc)
VALUES (#eventid#, TO_DATE('#formatted_date#', 'MM/DD/YYYY'),
TO_DATE('#format_date#', 'MM/DD/YYYY'), '#longtitle#', '#location#',
'#telephone#', '#email#', '#url#', '#eventsummary#', '#content#', <cfif
isdefined("file.serverFile")>'#file.serverFile#'<cfelse>NULL</cfif>)
</cfquery>
</cftransaction>
