@Kym: you make an excellent point. I normally look at data in a table by running a query, so i'm looking at query results in Management Studio. So i used the Open table and looked at the data that way, and still see the same effect. I have dates in the table showing as 23/05/2010 12:00:00 AM and 5/02/2010 12:00:00 AM when they should all show as being in May.
Also if i run a query on the table in coldfusion and cfdump the results, i see the same results. @Dale, thanks for your input. I also have 18 other databases on this server, and don't have this problem with them, and I usually use either createodbcdate() or <cfqueryparam with a type of CF_SQL_TIMESTAMP or CF_SQL_DATE. However in this case I have about 300 files of historical code that has worked fine on a server at fasthit and now i have it on my server it's giving this result. Re-writing the whole application is not a reasonable option, because the client's not going to pay me to re-write his existing code, no matter how much I'd like to. The code is legacy, dating back to CF5 for the most part and i would dearly love to see it modernised for a lot of reasons. But that is going to have to wait.
