I was going to let this thread go by, but I was alarmed at the volume of well-intentioned but not necessarily helpful advice. So here's my 2 cents.
Your best bet is to use cfqueryparam with the createodbcdate() function within the <cfquery>, per Dave Shuck's suggestion, for a number of reasons, including: o Performance (not necessarily in this case, but as a rule of thumb) o Security o Ease of maintenance/portability (across db platforms) Do some reading on what cfqueryparam is and how it works, in the WACK if you have it, and/or on Adobe's site (see below). As a best practice, you should use this whenever possible in all of your queries.
