I don't know why I have so much trouble with this..

OK, I need to get all records with a depart date starting today and for 
the next 15 days...

So, first set the variables...

<cfset TodayDate = #CREATEODBCDATE(now())#>
<cfset FutureDate = #CREATEODBCDATE(now() + form.departdate)#>
<!--- form.departdate is a simple number showing number of days in the 
future - 15, 30, 45. --->

...and then it seems this should work in the query:

WHERE DEPART_DATE >= #TodayDate# and DEPART_DATE <= #FutureDate#

But, it isn't working.


Problem 1: This database was handed to me to work with. It's mySQL. 
"DEPART_DATE" is a varText field and all the dates in it are listed as 
"8/15/2004". This is probably causing all my headaches.

Simply switching the data type in the database doesn't work - the data 
gets translated incorrectly.

So, advise on how to best correct this problem and get the query to work 
correctly?


I'm only an idiot half the time...
