I couldn't find much (any?) difference between them from looking at the documentation. >> the math is based on the assumption of sunday being day >> 1.

That's what I meant -- just that in Java, the week is always counted from sunday, and the value of first-day-of-week is an adjustment applied against that, so that, if you're working with a calendar formula and you're asked to get "the first day of the week" it has to include that offset and it seems I remember my testing showing the CF native DayOfWeek() function always returning a sunday-based index. I could be mistaken -- at the time I was working on my calendar code it was all java anyway because the CF native functions are (or have been) pretty limited/crude and wouldn't support the kind of control I wanted. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://macromedia.breezecentral.com/p49777853/ http://www.sys-con.com/author/?id=4806 http://www.fusiontap.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
