You can set the JVM locale value explicitly in ColdFusion MX 7 in the JVM Arguments field on the Java and JVM Settings page in the ColdFusion MX Administrator; for example: <br /><br />-Duser.language=de -Duser.region=DE. 0 0 2005-09-28T03:32:33 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6/Migrating_ColdFusion_5_Applications/cf_migration_guide9.htm#36223 Using SetLocale and LSDateformat works ok on cold fusion pages but if you then submit a job to the Cold Fusion scheduler using cfschedule, it flips back to the default US date if there is ambiguity. eg 1st July 2005 if submitted to the the scheduler will set the scheduled date to 7th January 2005 and will start running the scheduled task immediately as the task date according to the scheduler is in the past, which is irksome if you deliberately set a task to run after hours because it uses up a lot of bandwidth and clogs intranet traffic. paulineb 0 0 2005-07-02T18:21:05 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6/Migrating_ColdFusion_5_Applications/cf_migration_guide9.htm#20986 this doesnt explain how to change the locale of the server though, I want it set to uk perminantly John2 0 0 2004-09-06T02:49:05 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6/Migrating_ColdFusion_5_Applications/cf_migration_guide9.htm#4382 just put a line similar to the following in you application.cfm, or on the page where you need the right locale:<br /><br /><cfset void = SetLocale("English (UK)")><br /><br />replace the "English (UK)" with whatever your locale is bigglesthegreat1234 0 0 2003-12-08T07:44:35 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6/Migrating_ColdFusion_5_Applications/cf_migration_guide9.htm#763 It would be helpful to know how to change the default locale on a cf mx server. Changing the windows 2000 locale in the regional settings and then rebooting the machine does not change the locale used by default by CF MX. rvoosten 0 0 2002-11-12T13:17:00 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6/Migrating_ColdFusion_5_Applications/cf_migration_guide9.htm#369 I believe there is a typo in the names of ISDateFormat() and ISTimeFormat(). Shouldn't they be listed as LSDateFormat() and LSTimeFormat()? jholt 0 0 2002-06-03T11:11:00
