Again, only in CF8 or above. And wow, Nerida, yes, wonderful lady. She worked in the library of the government agency I worked with in Australia back the mid-late 90's, which was the capstone to the 15 years of my first IT career. Yep, I'm that old. :-)

Would it work as well for format="html"? Cheers, Rae PS. I believe you know a very good friend of mine Nerida Hart?

Longer explanation: Well, if that worked in CF8, it was not working as a Flash datefield, but rather as an HTML one. By having put in 'type="flash"' on the CFFORM to indicate a Flash form, instead of 'format="flash"', CFFORM basically ignored it. In CF8, then, that would have let the CFINPUT type="datefield" worked because that was added newly in CF 8 to be supported for HTML forms (again, you were not really doing a Flash form). In CF7, though, that datefield option is ONLY supported for Flash forms. Since you were not really doing one, the error is telling you that Datefield is not a valid attribute value for Type. Actually, you should have gotten a more detailed error that would have (perhaps) helped. It should have reported: Attribute validation error for tag CFINPUT. The value of the attribute TYPE, which is currently "datefield", must be one of the values: TEXT,PASSWORD,HIDDEN,FILE,CHECKBOX,RADIO,BUTTON,SUBMIT,RESET,IMAGE. I'm guessing that you are either only seeing the stacktrace (and not the error message-though it shows the above even if "robust exception handling" is turned off) or perhaps you're seeing this from a try/catch, and instead of seeing cfcatch.detail you're seeing the output of cfcatch.stacktrace.
