I think you want to use the CreateODBCDate() function to create your start and end
dates.
<CFSET startdate = "#CreateODBCdate(Year,Month,Day)#">
<CFSET enddate = "#CreateODBCdate(Year2,Month2,Day2)#">
Then refer to those in your query *without* 's. (the CreateODBCDate() function puts
them in for you):
<CFQUERY name="getwweb" datasource="wwebsales">
SELECT * FROM wwebsales
where orderdate between #startdate# and #enddate#
</cfquery>
