Thank you Rick!! 

I think the light maybe coming on here lately ;-). I think I've done about
all I can do with being self taught for the most part and trying to figure
it all out by myself ;-), coming out of the shadows and asking questions
here after I've exhausted trying everything my little brain can come up with
is definitely helping things to click for me.

Bob

FYI, there is absolutely no need to use createODBCDateTime() here

If "myDate" is already a date, then you can just pass IT to date format. 
  The only purpose of createODBCDateTime() is if you're putting a date time
object in a query and you're *NOT* using CFQUERYPARAM.

so above, you'd be just fine with:

#DateFormat(myDate, "mmmm dd, yyyy")# #TimeFormat(myDate,"hh:mm:ss tt")#
