But where should be the difference if I set the locale explicitly or it's set by the OS (or Java default?)? Shouldn't they be the same? >> Btw. this just happens with this new project after transferring the db >> from Access to MySQL.

The dates do not come from the DB. It's just a simple script to prefill some form fields for date selection (but it also happens with records from the DB, so to say any time the function is used): <cfscript> dDate1 = CreateDate(now()); sDate1Day = DateFormat(dDate1, 'dd'); sDate1Month = DateFormat(dDate1, 'mm'); sDate1Year = DateFormat(dDate1, 'yy'); dDate2 = CreateDate(DateAdd('yyyy', 1, now())); sDate2Day = DateFormat(dDate2, 'dd'); sDate2Month = DateFormat(dDate2, 'mm'); sDate2Year = DateFormat(dDate2, 'yy'); </cfscript> Even without using those vars as formfield-values the umlauts are screwed up... > this all sounds vaguely familiar.
