Since you're using European dates I would suggest breaking up the date
field.
IE:
<!-- form page -->
....
<input type="text" name="dayofmonth"><input type="text" name="month"><input
type="text" name="year">
....
<!-- end form page -->
<!-- submit page -->
....
<cfset final_date = month & "/" & dayofmonth & "/" & year>
....
<!-- end submit page -->
Then you can reformat it for output to the screen at a later time.
If you do it this way you won't have to worry about what order the people
enter the data because it will always be the same.

Subject: Date problem
Apologies if this has already been covered. I'm having a general problem
with date formats, specifically if a form field is submitted with a 2-digit
year then the subsequent template receives it with the day and year digits
switched round.
ie 17/01/01 would become 01/01/2017
This doesn't happen if the form field contains a 4-digit year ie 17/01/2001,
but as I'm using cfinput validation it doesn't actually force the user to
use 4 digits. At present I don't know whether this is a localised setting
issue or if it's cold fusion or what. Anyone else come across this?
TIA
