1. make sure the locale settings under Control Panel -> Regional Options are all set to Australian 2. if you do not have access to this or do not want to touch those settings you could do <cfset form.myDate = "12/12/2004"> <cfset myDate = createDate(listLast(form.myDate, "/"), listGetAt(form.myDate, 2, "/"), listFirst(form.myDate, "/"))> <cfset myDate = lsDateFormat(variables.myDate)> <!--- this will format the date specified in the local server settings ---> <cfset myDate = dateFormat(variables.myDate, "dd-mm-yyyy")> <!--- this will format the date as you specify --->

Morning guys, Can anyone help with DateFormat and LSDateFormat? The fact that cf still assumes that i want my dates in mm/dd/yyyy format is a little more than annoying. My locale gets set in the Application.cfm, and i have also put the au locale in the JVM. My dates keep getting translated into mm/dd/yyyy even if i use DateFormat to format it the other way around. It wouldn't be such a big problem if i could predict when it would do this. but it seems to only happen on certain dates. I have also tried using LSDateFormat, but i run into all sorts of trouble when using time stamps from the database. It throws an error telling me that au_AU is not a valid locale, or that the timestamp is not a valid date format. I don't understand why dates aren't Locale Specific by default. but I really need to find a way around this. Any advice? tips and tricks you guys use? I hope that Blackstone has much better support for LS dates. Please help.
