I want to make sure I clarify that CFScript blocks and UDF functions are two completely different things.
In a UDF, you can only return a single value. That value can be a complex value (Array or Structure), though. CFScript blocks don't explicitly return any values, although you can create variables in any scope of your choosing that will be accessible. I'm still not fully understanding why it matters how the customer's give you the data, as long as it is in a valid date. You'll just need to massage it before displaying it back to them, using the appropriate mask. ( DateFormat?). Are you saying that you are being given April 5th (I.e. 4/5/2002) and the system is seeing it as May 4th (5/4/2002)? What are the problems with EuroDate validation?
