Dateformat expects a full date. If you try #dateformat("5", 'dd')#,
which
is essentially what you are telling dateformat to work with, you'll get
"4"
returned... not sure why... I would have it throw an error if it's not
a
valid date. Why not just use #dateformat(now(), 'dd')# to get the
desired
result "5"?
Cheers,

I can understand why the number 5 may not work but when I use
DateFormat(day(now()), 'dd') I still get a date of yesterday. This just
doesn't seem right.
