>>the example i gave is exactly what cfdirectory returns on cf 6.1 - ie a datetime object formatted as 06 April 2005
Exact, but a datetime object formatted is not a datetime object anymore: it is a string. Look at the docs for createodbcdatetime(), it takes a datetime object, not a string. If you supply a string, as I said, CF will try to guess how it could convert it, not always with success, deoending on the format of the string. >> etc and it does work as i would expect ... because you were lucky ;-) .. cf7.1 cfdirectory returns datelastmodified differently to how 6.1 does therefore breaking createodbcdatetime() Not exactly: breaking your luck ;-/ -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
