Dave, Scope your variable. either request.deadline or application.deadline
Then do your date comparisons against that date and time.
<cfif Now() GT request.AuctionEnd>
<cfset request.AuctionStatus="Over">
<cfelse>
<cfparam name="request.AuctionStatus" default="">
</cfif>
Then in place were needed around the site, I have (html removed):
<cfif not request.AuctionStatus IS "Over">
<cfoutput><a
href="index.cfm?action=bidhistory&#client.URLToken#&ITEMS_ID=#FindItem.ITEMS
_ID#">Bid History</a>
</cfoutput>
Your Bid: $<cfinput type="Text" name="NewBid" message="Please specify
your bid" required="Yes" size="8" maxlength="6" onchange="MinBid()">
<input type="submit" value="BID">
<cfelse>
<cfoutput><a
href="index.cfm?action=bidhistory&#client.URLToken#&ITEMS_ID=#FindItem.ITEMS
_ID#">Bid History</a></cfoutput>Bidding Is Over
<cfoutput>
The auction ends #DATEFORMAT(request.AuctionEnd, "mmmm, d")#, at
#timeFORMAT(request.AuctionEnd, "h:MM")# p.m. EDT.</cfoutput>
