I may well be reinventing the wheel. :) I do that all the time. But my problem is I get customers who want mm/dd/yyyy and others who want dd/mm/yyyy and the eurodate validation doesn't always work (the day and month get swapped.) So I wrote a basic CF program to handle this, but if I can do it as a UDF it would be much slicker (and give me some practice creating UDFs.) Perhaps it is impossible to break out of CFSCRIPT block. How many variables can I return with a CFSCRIPT block? T ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
