Jochem, good suggestion, then I can test for a numeric value. 

MS SQL Server does support this but then the application ends up being 
database specific and more cryptic to read.  I could however live with that.

Maybe I'm making this a bigger deal than it is.  Just seems there should 
be a more elegant expression for this written by the much smarter than 
me CF-developers here :)
