>>07/24/1978 is an invalid date format Ok, now I see what your problem is: If you're using LSdateFormat, the function (and here is the difference with dateFaormat) expect a date. Since "07/24/1978" is not a date, but a string, CF will try to convert it to a date, but according the "English (UK)" standard, which is "dd/mm/yyyy". Thus 24 is interpreted as the month, this is what causes the error.
If you use only dateFormat, the date can be interpreted as an American date and it works. You only have two choices: 1. use createDate and pass independently the day, month, year parts as substrings of the date. 2. spend a few bucks, save lots of time and hurry to get CF_convertDate here: http://www.contentbox.com/claude/customtags/convertDate/viewConvertDate.cfm With only one line of code, you will solve your problem: <CF_convertDate inputVariable="myDate" inputMask="US" outputMask="EU"> or in function call format: <CFSET outputDate = convertDate(myDate, "string", "string", "US", "EU")> -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
