all you need for your desired output is: <cfquery ...> .... </cfquery>
<cfoutput query="getevents"> #StartDate#<cfif startdate neq enddate> - #EndDate#</cfif> </cfoutput> however, keep in mind that if your startdate and enddate db fields also include TIME part, your stratdate will not be equal to enddate even if date parts are same... you will need to use your db's date/time functions to select only the DATE part of these fields and compare/output those.
