I remember, being on the RedSky beta, an issue with the CF Scheduler that only affected Australian installations. This was fixed so yes being on the beta can help. MM also deliver hotfixes for issues that don't crop up during beta testing. RedSky was heavily beta tested and resulted in the excellent CFMX 6 and 6.1. I have little doubt "Blackstone" will also be heavily beta'd and will result in another superior product from MM. As long as they don't kill the product with licensing fees a la Flex at least!
Wow! Must have been at least two years since the RedSky beta!

Barry, as I've explained before, LSDateFormat is a buggy piece of junk (I probably used different words than this, but these will do for now) that doesn't do half the stuff the DateFormat does, even though they should be identical with the exception of their output formats. LSDateFormat is extremely fussy over its input and doesn't accept most of the formats that it should accept. I still think you end up with better results with a carefully thought out use of DateFormat and using completely non ambiguous date formats. All I can put it down to is a lack of non-US testers, probably caused by the difficulties non-US people have had in the past getting onto betas, where these sort of issues could be identified and fixed. I still cringe every time I have to do anything with dates in CF. If you want anything different in Blackstone though, you _must_ tell someone on the Blackstone team.
