AH! Ok i see what the difference is. You're giving it a string, not a date object. That's where I was falling over - i was trying ot give it a date object, and of course you can't create an invalid date object.
So createdate was throwing an error before it even got to the validation function. Thanks. But the try/catch works too :) Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month On Fri, Feb 20, 2009 at 4:03 PM, Adam Chapman <a...@portplus.com> wrote: > > Hi Mike, > > I used to use the 3 dropdowns method..
