Hi,

The above is not a valid value for a date field. What function do you use for
the conversion ?

#DateFormat(form.date, "YYYY-MM-DD")# ? Or perhaps a custom function /
conversion script ?

Which client (browser?) / platform produces the error ?

And just out of general interest, which cf-version and platform are you
using ? Pg version ?

I use pg 8.x's on CentOS and Fedora with CF 5 Pro Linux and CFMX7 Standard. I
also heard that CFMX7+ would install and run ok on Ubuntu.
