yes & that's why you should *always* format dates using one of the (java) standards formats, FULL,LONG,MEDIUM,SHORT. you can pretty much always parse those back to datetime objects. Yeah, that would be great _if_ I was the one controlling the date format. I am helping build a text file parser which can be configured to read in reconciliation batches that banks provide us of our bank accounts. (fixed width, comma delimited, etc) It needs to be able to handle any format of date they might throw at us. I have no guarantee that tomorrow we won't start using a new bank which insists on giving us dates in a MMYYYYDD format and I only want to write this code once. :) ~Brad ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion 8 - Build next generation apps today, with easy PDF and Ajax features - download now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:286556 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
