By the way, if you work in America on servers set to the American date
formatting standard on projects exclusively for an American audience,
you might never run across this problem. I've worked around it by
always inputting a date (from a form) in day month year parts (or
splitting it up into the parts if it's a _javascript_ style calendar),
and then connocating them into a single string in the format
year-month-date, and then run CreateODBCDate() on that string.

I've found this will work reliably no matter how the server is set up,
dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy, because i *think* CF(at least CF5) set up on
a server using the european date system will try to make a european
date out of the string first. (Thank you very much!) At least that's
been my experience. So it can be a real mess if you're not sure where
your app will be deployed, on a server in America or on a server
elsewhere.
