I would make a full date, then use date format to get the result I wanted in this case, either that or use string functions like left to get what you want.

RE: formatting #MonthasString
MonthAsString will converts X, where X is the month of the year, to a string. What you want to is to change X into a real date object. You can do this by using createDate(). Then you can use dateFormat to format the month. Or, if you just want the three letter abreviation - aren't all of them just the first 3 letters? If so, just do left(monthAsString(x),3). === Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Hire Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW : www.camdenfamily.com/morpheus Yahoo IM : morpheus My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. - Yoda -Original Message- From: Tim Laureska [mailto:hometeam;goeaston.net] Sent: Friday, October 18, 2002 12:30 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: formatting #MonthasString Is there a way to format a number value retrieved for a month (ex 10 for the month of October) with the #monthasString# function. say to the ?

Re: formatting #MonthasString
You can use #DateFormat(YourDate,mmm)# Or #MonthAsString(month(YourDate))# month(YourDate) gives you the month.

RE: formatting #MonthasString
No, you can't specify formatting within the MonthAsString() function. Instead, you might consider using DateFormat() as in: CFSET month = 10 CFSET myDate = CreateDate(Year(Now()), month, Day(Now())) CFOUTPUT#DateFormat(myDate, mmm)#/CFOUTPUT -- Mosh Teitelbaum evoch, LLC Tel: (301) 625-9191 Fax: (301) 933-3651 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.evoch.com/ -Original Message- From: Tim Laureska [mailto:hometeam;goeaston.net] Sent: Friday, October 18, 2002 12:30 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: formatting #MonthasString Is there a way to format a number value retrieved for a month (ex 10 for the month of October) with the #monthasString# function. say to the ?
