Hi Matt,

I'm setting up a multipage form that adds each field in a page to the
session scope as it progresses through the pages of the form. I am using
the following code to add the fields to a temporary structure
(monthlycontact) before adding the structure to the session scope:

<cfloop collection="#request.terraform.fields#" item="i">
     <cfset monthlycontactdetails[i] = request.terraform.fields[i].rawvalue>
</cfloop>

I just want to check that I am using the 'rawvalue' variable correctly... I was 
using the following code:

<cfloop collection="#request.terraform.fields#" item="i">
     <cfset monthlycontactdetails[i] = request.terraform.fields[i].value>
</cfloop>

But experience problems when passing dates (might be because of locales?).
This is the error I was receiving when I tried to submit the form: "{ts 
&apos;2004-12-13 00:00:00&apos;}" is an invalid date format.

I got the following to work but it seemed like too much code...

<cfloop collection="#request.terraform.fields#" item="i">
     <cfset tempvalue = request.terraform.fields[i].value>
     <cfif IsDate(tempvalue)>
          <cfset monthlycontactdetails[i] = DateFormat(tempvalue,"dd/mm/yyyy")>
     <cfelse>
          <cfset monthlycontactdetails[i] = tempvalue>
     </cfif>
</cfloop>

That's when I stumbled across the 'rawvalue' variable.

So, is it alright to use that 'rawvalue' variable in this way? (ie. to get the 
raw text of the entered date?)

Thanks
