Thats fine as long as you're _sure_ of the date format you're getting (i.e
mm/dd/yyyy).
Better would be to CreateDate, then CreateODBCdate that:
<cfset mydate = "3/22/2001">
<cfset mydate =
CreateDate(ListLast(mydate,'/'),ListGetAt(mydate,2,'/'),ListLast(mydate,'/')
)>
<cfset myODBCdate = CreateODBCDate(mydate)>
<CFQUERY....>
UPDATE mytable
SET mydate = #myODBCdate#
</CFQUERY>
(Cos its an ODBC date you don't need the single quotes)
This is because CreateDate will 'helpfully' try first the mm/dd/yyyy format,
then if that fails, it'll try using the english format of dd/mm/yyyy, but if
you use CreateDate then you _know_ you won't get any unexpected results.
You'll just get errors.
