Mike, Thanks for the reply. The thing with the ABS function is that it only takes the minus sign away.The calculation is actually calculating the dates between 12 Nov 2001 and 28 Feb 2001 NOT 12 Nov 2001 and 28 Feb 2002 as it should.So the number of days is wrong. I am not using cf5 so cant use a UDF. Any other ideas?

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2001 11:16 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Datediff Use the ABS funcitons, which will return the positive value. The number is correct, Try this: ABS(<cfset compare=#DateDiff(d,#DayofYear(#targ#)#,#DayofYear(#implm#)#)#>) Im not sure on the pounds, but play with it. Lemme know if this helps.

My question is how to compare two dates that come from different years. For example if I use the code below to compare a date of 12 Nov 2001 and 28 Feb 2002 to get the date difference I get -257 days. <cfset compare=#DateDiff(d,#DayofYear(#targ#)#,#DayofYear(#implm#)#)#> <cfset comparison_list=#ListAppend(comparison_list,#compare#)#> I have tried other means of doing this but with no success. Can somebody suggest the correct code to use to compare dates that overlap years?

Now there is a CODE you put into the page or the table tag that lets the Browser know this is a PREDEFINED size and to display it on the fly I forget what that code is any idea?
