No you are right, read my follow up email on this. It seems this part of the documentation hasn't been touched since V3.1 when I first started using it, I can't tell you when this function was introduced.
But what I can tell you is this, the name of the function is misleading. In fact I would bet that this problem has been there right from the word go, because nobody uses it. I can not for the life of me think why any one would want the ordinal number of the month given from the year, and maybe that is why this example is lets say a little misleading with the result. However when I look at this function before reading the docs is that it should give 1, but we all know that the first day of the month is the 1st anyway. So it's no big deal, but maybe if someone could post a better use for the code or even show how to do what the function is designed for would be better. And I want to add one more thing, I applied for the beta program again for Neo and was told to wait until Beta2, as I have been a part of the beta program for a very long time I don't understand why those of use who have been a member (for me is now 4 years) why we are not selected first over the newer users? I have asked to part of the Alpha program now for over a year, never any word as no you can't yes you can. And I am sure a lot of others like myself feel the same way, who have been beta testers of Coldfusion for the same period or even longer. I am designing an application that I know will not work under CF1.0 - CF5.0, but think that Neo would be able to cope with it. Which, btw is why I wanted to be part of the Alpha team, to help introduce new features or even help better what you had. But I guess we have deaf ears at Allaire, because they knew you guys where taking over the operations. One disappointed CF developer. Oh well looks like I will start using Net to create this application now. -----Original Message----- From: Raymond Camden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 7 February 2002 2:06 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Bug in CF 5's FirstDayOfMonth? Eh? I can't speak for Ben, but I do know that we try our best to let you guys know as much as possible about any potential issues, bugaboos, etc, however, like everyone else, we aren't perfect. I may be misunderstanding what you are saying though. ______________________________________________________________________ Why Share?
