The CreateDate function might be your best bet. Perhaps something like
this:
<cfset new_date_CF = createdate(listgetat(asciidate, 1, "/"),
listgetat(asciidate, 2, "/"), listgetat(asciidate, 3, "/"))>
<cfset new_date_ODBC = createODBCdate(new_date)>
This should give you a CF date, and a database compatible date from
asciidate.
Untested, but should work.
