This seems like a relatively simple thing, but I can't figure out how to do it. I have a basic form that submits an email body field. I want to validate that the body field doesn't contain certain keywords before I write it to my DB. How can I do this? The standard UD form validation options don't have any features to handle this.

try this extension from webassist.com www.webassist.com/Products/ProductDetails.asp?PID=4 it allows you to enter words that you want checking, although you need to have this extension too www.macromedia.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?view=sn121&extID=100630

Hi There
How about writing a small routine which reads in data from either a file or database table containing your forbidden words loads them into an array and then checks for the presence or otherwise of these words. So if you wish to add more words it's just a matter of updating a table or file.
Look into the FileSystemObject for managing files and the instr function for checking on the words.
Hope this is of some help
