maybe you want to use the setLocale() function on the pages where you want to show the date in dd/mm/yyyy format.
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/functa80.htm dateFormat() itself is handy for giving you various date mask options (e.g. "mmmm dd, yyyy" or "mm d yy" or "mm/dd/yyyy", etc)...but i don't think its true purpose is to format the date to meet the standard of other locales. also see the docs for the lsDateFormat() function at http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/functa28.htm note that it uses setLocale() in the code example.
