Thanks for that Charles. All I am doing is setting up a simple math question on a form to stop the spam bots. I am not a fan of Captcha and being a public institution I need to accommodate the masses regarding accessibility. This is an interim fix until I have time to evaluate my options.

It's a literal string (by virtue of the fact that it's enclosed in quotes). So this condition will never be true. What you want is isNumeric(form.num). Which will return true or false. So when you say isNumeric(form.num) eq 4... I'm not sure that's what you want. ColdFusion will accept that... it uses implicit boolean conversion so true == 4 is true. But that's not really what you're going for, I don't think. try: <cfif structKeyExists(form, 'num') and val(form.num) eq 4> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
