Some will say use a string data type and return an empty
string. I don't much care for this option.
Others will say use a date date type and return a "null"
date such as 1/1/1900. Again, I don't much care for this option,
either.
Still more others will say throw/catch an exception if this
happens.

Trouble is, they are optional parameters so sometimes they are a valid date and sometimes they are equal to "". If my cfargument type to date cf just throws an exception.How do I handle this? Shoudl I just store it as a string?Cheers, Pete (aka lad4bear)----------------------------------------------------------
