I was showing this problem to my boss just an hour or so ago...
You should never use "^.*_date$" (regular _expression_ for those not in
the know) at the name of a form field you intend to use. If you
include an input in a form which ends with the string "_date"
coldfusion will attempt to validate that a matching form field is a
date value when the form is submitted.
i.e. ml_3_31_date tells the server to make sure that the value of the
form field ml_3_31 is a date value if it is present in the form.
Additional unuseable endings include _required and _number (or
_numeric I don't remember).
