I do worry that you are re-inventing the wheel. Have you looked at the IsDate or LSIsDate function? I'm not sure if ColdFusion has a specific way to compare against a given mask, though, but if your intent is to turn it into an ODBC date, the given mask doesn't matter if you use the CreateODBCDate function. -- Jeffry Houser | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Need a Web Developer?
