Dates are not stored in a database in American of European format. They are stored in the database's unambiguous format. If you pass in a US or Euro date then your DBMS is converting it before storing. You should take charge of this conversion. Try using something like this...
<cfqueryparam value="#lsParseDateTime(form.theDate)#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_TIMESTAMP"> I am assuming you've set your locale with setLocale(). When you display a date from a database you must always use lsDateFormat(). -----Original Message----- From: Mark Flewellen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 25 January 2006 10:46 a.m. To: CF-Talk Subject: Date Formats I am having trouble with Date Formats on a Windows Server, running CFMX7 and mysql, I am wanting to have dates appear in a European Format ie. dd/mm/yyyy and once posted from a form for them to be saved in the MySQL Database in an American Format (which it does by default). However I am finding that if I post a date such as 10/12/2005 (ie. 10 December 2005), this will save in the database as 2005-10-12 (ie. 12 October 2005), but if I save a date such as 18/12/2005 (ie. 18 December 2005), this saves in the database in the correct format ie. 2005-12-18 It seems whenever the day value is below 13 it seems to swap the day and the month around. Anyone got any ideas? Mark ___________________________________________________________ NEW Yahoo!
