Re: dateformat issue

Hi Aarni,

just so you know I am using the CF built-in function,
createodbcdate

here is the info from livedocs.

CreateODBCDate
Description

Returns a date in ODBC date format.
Category

Date and time functions
Syntax

CreateODBCDate(date)

so I pass in 2008-01-23
and I get back

{d '2008-01-23'}

The weirdness for me is that it works elsewhere in the application, I
am really stumped.

-Gavin.
