Error in cfqueryparam, when getting date field from cfpop

Question

Hi all,
i'm taking data from cfpop to store them in the database.
There are problems with date data:
INSERT .....
POST_DATE = <cfqueryparam value="#date#"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp">
But it fails in some situations, for instance:
The cause of this output exception was that:
coldfusion.runtime.locale.CFLocaleBase$InvalidDateTimeException:
"19 Sep 2006 00:51:33 +0200" is an invalid date or time string
Ok, I'm using English locale and tried to use
ParseDateTime(date, 'pop'). But it doesn't work either (!):
"19 Sep 2006 00:51:33 +0200" is not a valid date format. But
'pop' supposes, that this is format with time zone offset!!
P.S. The problem was that some email messages had incorrect
date format: one didn't have a day of week, another one - even day
of month!!!
To make life simpler, i've just added a regexp check:
<cfif
ReFindNoCase("[A-z]{3}\,\s[0-9]{2}\s[A-z]{3}\s[0-9]{2,4}\s[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}\s(?: \+|\-)?[0-9]{4}",
date, 0)>
<cfset dateField = date>
<cfelse>
<cfset dateField = now()>
</cfif>
I'm not going to parse every possible date format
error.

I don't believe there's anyway to have Access ignore it on an import. What you can try instead is link to the file (instead of importing it) and write a query that updates the table based on the linked table, with an appropriate edit on the date/time field.
