must have been from email or whatever. peter's put more thought into the dateconvert issue than i have & maybe he will chime in. i'm more concerned about cf datetimes in general & as i said in my blog, i'd like cf to have a setTimeZone() function. > Ah well... is it specific to the date you mentioned, the day of "spring > forward" (and "fall back")? that's for one US tz. globally there are plenty of others that follow DST and these are often a moving target. a recent for instance, australia DST "normally" ends march 26, 2:59AM (local time) but got pushed back to april 2nd to accommodate TV coverage of some international sporting event they hosted. the point being this isn't something you're probably going to carry around in your head & there's nothing in core java you can dip into to find out what tz is operating in what country (though you can tease out the begin/end dates for a given tz w/some work). the icu4j lib has a method to get tz by country but that's a whole LOT of weight to add (and the nifty tz rule bits missed the latest version, 3.6, anyway). i don;t think you should try "fudging" your way around this (if that's why you asked about the dates). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:252664 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
