Thanks you Andy and Ben for your quick response. A VIN number is a vehicle identification number which is on your car's registration as well as being on the driver side dash.
Think of it as a unique serial number for your car with vehicle information baked into the number. Andy the only problem that I had with your regex is that it let me enter more than 17 characters. I quickly added a maxlength which corrected the problem. There's a ISVIN function on CFLib and I had originally proposed to my boss that I rewrite it in javascript but he didn't want that level of functionality.
