Hi,
No matter what I try this will not work for me.
Can anybody point out what is wrong with this code.
<cfset targ=#DateFormat("01/12/2001","dd/mm/yyyy")#>
<cfoutput>#targ#</cfoutput>
<cfset compare=DateDiff("d",#targ#,#DateFormat(Now(),"dd/mm/yyyy")#)>It gives me weird output dates - of -233.

The DB will be sqlserver 2k so no probs there. I guess the main thing is the font, and installing it on the users system if they dont have it? cheers will -----Original Message----- From: Paul Hastings [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 04 December 2001 10:51 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: multilingual dynamic sites, particularly hindi > Just a general question really.
