I'm using CF 9 on windows 8 64bit
This is probably a simple solution. I have a form that will list all of the members of our church club from a given date that is selected from a form field. After the date is selected I will press my submit button and I expect to see the date listed with all of the members that were in the class listed as well. However I am experiencing an error when the page generates. This error reads
“The value returned from the meedate function is not of type date.”
How can I pass a date variable into my CFC so that it will pass through correctly and display my desired results. Below is the code of my CFC that I am calling as well as the Coding for the page that should display the desired results. The particular function that I am referring to is entitled "brother" of the component called “brother”, and the error code throw when it encounters the variable called '#meetingdate#'. Please let me know if If I am missing something. Thanks in advance for your help.
