try this instead as it's better coding practice. You don't need all those
hashes when using them in variables or functions, and it's better for
performance...
<cfset testdate = DateFormat(CreateODBCDate(Now()), 'yyyy-mm-dd')>
<cfset testday = DatePart('d', date)>
<cfset testmonth = DatePart('m', date)>
<cfset testyear = DatePart('yyyy', date)>
Or you could try (easier to read and probably slightly better on
performance):
<cfscript>
testdate = DateFormat(CreateODBCDate(Now()), 'yyyy-mm-dd');
testday = DatePart('d', date);
testmonth = DatePart('m', date);
testyear = DatePart('yyyy', date);
</cfscript>
note I changed your variable Date to testdate as it's a reserved word...
