Hmm, then I'll have to dig a bit into this on the live server. But at the moment the problems occur on our dev server. A quick test shows that its default encoding is UTF-8. Without setting the encoding to latin1 the output of the query I showed displays garbage - as it should (only cfquery/cfoutput). Changing the encoding to latin1 everything looks fine. Dropping in a simple <cfset foo = DateFormat(now(), 'dd.mm.yyyy') /> anywhere on that page renders it instantly wrong! >> WHERE adate >= CreateODBCDate(now()) >> AND sdate <= CreateODBCDate(now()) PH> CreateODBCDate is redundant. Uhm, is it really? Something new to me after years :) >> And those title and shorttext contents get screwed as long as I use >> the upper DateFormat.

But the 'designer' insists on those fields being two digits. And a wrapper-function around the day/month/year values would be the same overkill as DateFormat. So this is again one of those compromises one has to make I think. >> everything works fine (or - as discovered - using LSDateFormat() >> without setting a setLocale() in App.cfm).

I always thought of it being latin-1 because my conversion tool told me it'll that encoding. And the MySQL status output also tells me that it uses 'latin1' as server and client characterset. -- Patric Stumpe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:231574 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=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
