Umm, not sure but it looks like CF is trying to evaluate your string as an expression.
You can write expressions such as this [foobar LT 99] in long hand as [foobar less then 99]. Almost nobody does, but it is supported by CF. So my first guess would be that your "Less Then 12 years" string is being treated as an expression. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code.
