[cfaussie] RE: SQL Server date format (please help!)

[George Lu]

Yes, I've set to English(Australian). BTW, it's SQL Server 2000 on Windows Server 2003.   And this "<cfset SQLDate = DateFormat(Form.CloseDate, "yyyy/mm/dd")>" works for my other applications. It's quite weird.   George >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 31/05/04 11:33:24 >>> Have you checked the regional setting (in control panel) on the machines hosting your DB Server/CFMX server? Make sure the correct locale is installed and set to English(Australian). -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Stephen Bosworth Application Development and Integration Communication and Information Services The University of Newcastle, Australia Phone: 02 4921 6574 Fax: 02 4921 7087 Mobile: 0438 492518 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 31/05/2004 11:23:18 am >>> Steve, Thanks for your help.

Hi, I've been driving crazy with this date issue. We've upgraded our Access dbs to SQL Server recently. We have form input using Aussie date format: dd/mm/yyyy and is same in the database (I've set the default language to 0 - international in SQL Server). However when I use LSDateFormat to display the date it always change to American format: mm/dd/yyyy (e.g. 7/6/2004 becomes 6/7/2004). I've tried some options: <cfset SQLDate = DateFormat(Form.CloseDate, "yyyy/mm/dd")> OR <cfscript> theDate = Attributes.formfield; firstSeparator = find("/",theDate,0); theDay = left(theDate,firstSeparator-1); theYear = right(theDate,4); remaining = Right(thedate,len(thedate)-firstseparator); theMonth = left(remaining,find("/",remaining)-1); Caller.SQLDate = createdate(theYear,theMonth,theDay); </cfscript> <cfset newSQLDate = DateFormat(variable.SQLDate, "dd/mm/yyyy")> However, none of them work! Please help! Thanks in advanced.
