You mean you want to get yesterdays date?
Sounds like you've been trying to subtract 1 from the date, since your
having problems if the date is on the 1st.
Try using DateAdd()
So if your date is march 1st.
<cfset yourdate = "03/01/2001">
User DateAdd to subtract 1 day.
<cfset yesterday = DateAdd("d",-1,yourdate)>
And output it with dateformat.
<cfoutput>#DateFormat(Variables.yesterday,"mm/dd/yyyy")#</cfoutput>

Subject: Date Function
Hello All,
Here is a good one. I have been thinking about this for a while
and I can not figure it out!
I am doing a schedule thing and I need to see if let's say at the time
it goes, if we are the 1st of the month to get yesterday's date. So I
cab take that and format it with dateformat
Does anyone know how this would be accomplished?
Thanks,
Joel
