it's because you're passing an integer (335) to the dateformat function. it doesn't recognize that as a valid date, so gives the "default date".

I am trying to find the firstdayofmonth(date) and then find what dayofweek(FirstDayofMonth(date)) is. For example: <cfset firstday = FirstDayofMonth("12/17/2001")> <cfset weekday = DayofWeek(firstday)> <cfoutput>#firstday# #Weekday# </cfoutput> This will give you: 335 for firstday (12/1/01) 6 for Weekday(11/30/1900) If you try to do a dateformat(firstday,"mm/dd/yyyy") you get 11/30/1900 . You don't get an error reporting that you can't do that. You just get the wrong answer. So I think that is a bug with CF 4.5. Any ideas. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
