Here is the exact code for the link I sent you. Also it seems to be linked to having (ddd) be the last thing in the format string. One of the developers said a string like "mm/dd (ddd) yyyy" works. Though I have not tried that yet.
<CFSET str = dateformat(now(),"mm/dd/yy")> <CFSET code = '<CFSET str = dateformat(now(),"mm/dd/yy")>'> Properly Formatted Date without (ddd) mask<BR> <PRE> <CFOUTPUT>#code#</CFOUTPUT> </PRE> <CFOUTPUT>#str#</CFOUTPUT><BR> <BR> <BR> Properly Formatted Date with (ddd) mask<BR> <CFSET code = '<CFSET str = dateformat(now(),"mm/dd/yy <FONT COLOR="RED">(ddd)</FONT>")>'> <PRE> <CFOUTPUT>#code#</CFOUTPUT> </PRE> <CFSET str = dateformat(now(),"mm/dd/yy (ddd)")><BR> <CFOUTPUT>#str#</CFOUTPUT><BR> -----Original Message----- From: Sean A Corfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 9:07 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Possible dateFormat bug in MX?

I tried the exact same code and it worked just fine (I'm running CFMX without the Updater). I tried setting my system clock to different values and it ran just fine every time. The timestamp certainly *looks* valid. Is the rest of your file commented out above this? Can someone who has the Updater installed try this code please? (Jesse, Mike, Vern?)
