Ok, using this code: <CFLOOP FROM="1990" TO="2010" INDEX="year"> <CFLOOP FROM="1" TO="12" INDEX="month"> <CFLOOP FROM="1" TO="#DaysInMonth('#year#-#month#-01')#" INDEX="day">
<CFSET Today = CreateODBCDate('#year#-#month#-#day#')> <CFSET thisDOW = DayOfWeek(today)> <CFSET thisdaylastyear = DateAdd('ww',-52,today)> <CFSET lastDOW = DayOfWeek(thisdaylastyear)> <CFIF thisDOW NEQ lastDOW> <CFOUTPUT> <P><FONT COLOR="red">[*****NO MATCH*****]</FONT><BR> #Today# #DayOfWeekAsString(DayOfWeek(today))#<BR> #ThisDayLastYear# #DayOfWeekAsString(DayOfWeek(ThisDayLastYear))#</P> </CFOUTPUT> </CFIF> </CFLOOP> </CFLOOP> </CFLOOP> I've concluded that <CFSET thisdaylastyear = DateAdd('ww',-52,today)> produces the correct day every single time...
