<cfif> questions

You maybe doing a string comparison instead of the numeric you want.

You could try <cfif val(Mid(str,15,3)) GT 12>

Also, may I ask what kind of variables dateseen, pnum, local, and vider
are? I suspect you should be able to remove all the Evaluate()
functions which seldom are necessary.

I agree with you. The 3 character variable obviously contains a
non-numeric character.

The statement <cfif Mid(str, 15, 3) GT 12> is extracting a 3 character value and comparing it to a 2 character value. Without knowing what the value of str is, it's tough to get more specific. Try the code below instead of your CFIF.
