Hi All,
Thanks everyone for providing great help! I've just found out I've made a mistake with CFIF - I didn't put the date format code under CFELSE. So it should work for all codes. I apology for the mistake I've made.
Anyway, another question: in <cfset SQLDate = DateFormat(Form.CloseDate, "yyyy/mm/dd")>, is there any different specify the mask to "yyyy/mm/dd" or "dd/mm/yyyy"? It seems to me sometimes "yyyy/mm/dd" works and sometimes "dd/mm/yyyy" works.

LSDateFormat is also much fussier than DateFormat. You need to specify dd/mmm/yyyy. It won't like the hyphens.
Good luck. (Anything to do with dates always makes me cringe)
A big problem I've seen is that when we use dates, if the date is not ambiguous (ie. the 13th of January, there being no 13th month) then any dates like 13/01/2004 are handled perfectly, but for the first 12 days of the month, it always switches it to US format, and so treats the 12/01/2004 as the 1st of December.
This gets very frustrating, as if the date is being generated from today's date, then you only have problems for the first 12 days of any month, and then everything seems to be OK.

Thanks Phil. But the form date input format is "dd/mm/yyyy" (and I've tried "dd-mmm-yyyy" won't work).

In your cfscript,
where you have
<cfset newSQLDate = DateFormat(variable.SQLDate, "dd/mm/yyyy")>
instead try
<cfset newSQLDate = DateFormat(variable.SQLDate, "dd-mmm-yyyy")>
That way SQL will cope, regardless of whether it expects US or Aus dates.
Phil.

Subject: [cfaussie] RE: SQL Server date format (please help!)
Steve,
Thanks for your help. I've tried it but it still come with same result (i.e. 7/6/2004 becomes 6/7/2004).
george,
whenever i am inserting dates passed from a form i do this in the insert:
#CreateODBCDate(lsparsedatetime(form.news_finish_date))#
of course for this to work i have also set my locale in the application.cfm:
<cfsilent><cfoutput>#Setlocale("English (Australian)")#</cfoutput></cfsilent>
try that and see how you go, but i have never had an issue since adding the lsparsedatetime function.

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.
George
