hmm, that kind of does it:
<cfset date = '#DateFormat('#CreateODBCDate(Now())#', 'yyyy-mm-dd')#'>
<cfset testday = #DatePart('d', date)#>
<cfset testmonth = #DatePart('m', date)#>
<cfset testyear = #DatePart('yyyy', date)#>
testday: 7
testmonth: 1
testyear: 2003
which suits my purposes, although not if I wanted 07, 01 etc...
I'll have a look at the List functions, and also the other code posted.
ta ;-)
