You probably want to change the precision of the datecompare() function.
by default, DateCompare is precise to the second.
So, this might help:
<CFSET comparison = DateCompare(CurrentDate,expiration_date,"d">

Subject:
I'm trying to compare the current date to an expire-on date and mark the ad
as expired if the datecompare function returns a value gte 0. Everything
seems
ok except that it marks every ad as expired regardless of returned value.
<CFLOOP QUERY="GetEntries">
<CFSET AdWasPlacedOnThisDate = posted_on>
<CFSET expiration_date = #dateformat(DateAdd('D', 30,
AdWasPlacedOnThisDate), "DD-MMM-YY")#>
<CFSET comparison = DateCompare(CurrentDate,expiration_date>
<CFIF comparison GTE 0>
<CFQUERY datasource="xxx" DBTYPE="ODBC">
UPDATE Ads
SET online_approval = '2'
WHERE ad_id = ad_id
</CFQUERY>
</CFIF>
</CFLOOP>
Thanks
