RE: Stupid Date Question
Your code tells CF that Day is divided by Month is divided by Year. Use the createDate() function first. You can wrap a try/catch around it. If CF can't create a valid date from your input, then isDate() will throw a catachable exception. Or use isDate(form.day / form.month / form.year) to build your date.

Re: Stupid Date Question
Did not test it but I think this would work: IsDate(#Form.day#/#form.Month#/#Form.Year#) May need to switch the placement of the day and the month. I personally would use a CreateDate function either within the IsDate function or on a variable that is then used in the IsDate function.
