James, my feeling is you're not creating a date object in the CFC.
You really should keep your formatting for the display side. so in
your CFC you should be using:
CreateDate("yyyy", "mm", "dd")
which creates a date object which you can store or manipulate in various ways.
Then when you come to display it in the browser, thats when you use
the dateformat function to ensure it's using the correct format for
your application.

Can i suggest when you display your date, you use dateformat(
birthdate, "mmm/dd/yyyy") so the month is displayed as a three letter
abbreviation. That removes the confusion caused by the fact that the
whole world except North America displays dates as day/month/year.
With a lot of sites, you can never be sure whether a date 6/7/2008 is
in July or June.
