Why use CreateODBC date at all? I never use it myself.
this is incorrect
<cfset formatted_date1 = dateformat(startdate(), "MM-DD-YYYY")>
<cfset formatted_date2 = dateformat(enddate(), "MM-DD-YYYY")>
startdate() is not a function. should be
<cfset formatted_date1 = dateformat(startdate, "MM-DD-YYYY")>
<cfset formatted_date2 = dateformat(enddate, "MM-DD-YYYY")>
Now, is startdate and enddate input from the user?

Just these letting me down
<cfset formatted_date1 = dateformat(createodbcdate(startdate),
"MM-DD-YYYY")>
<cfset formatted_date2 = dateformat(createodbcdate(enddate),
"MM-DD-YYYY")>
I have tried
<cfset formatted_date1 = dateformat(startdate(), "MM-DD-YYYY")>
<cfset formatted_date2 = dateformat(enddate(), "MM-DD-YYYY")>
but am recieving
Entity has incorrect type for being called as a function.
The symbol you have provided startdate is not the name of a function.

No, the mask has to match the date format so:
WHERE STARTDATE <= TO_DATE(<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar"
value="#formatted_date#">,'MM/DD/YYYY')

You don't have to, but you could do
<cfset formatted_date = dateformat(Now(), "yyyy-mm-dd")>
....
WHERE STARTDATE <= TO_DATE(<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar"
value="#formatted_date#">,'YYYY-MM-DD')
You can pretty much do what you want as long as the mask in TO_DATE
matches the date format!
