"dd/mm/yy" is a string so, to get the month, there's really no reason to change it back to a date. Just use: <cfset theMonth = Val(ListgetAt(DateString,2,"/"))>
One thing to remember is that, unless you set the locale correctly and use the "LS" functions, "dd/mm/yy" will always be interpreted by CF date functions as "mm/dd/yy" if the day portion is less than or equal to 12. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:208101 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
