That value shouldn't work at all ... ?

<cfoutput>

#Now()# ||

#CreateODBCDate(2008-04-10)# = #CreateODBCDate(1994)#

|

#CreateODBCDate('2008-04-10')#

|

#CreateODBCDate(Now())#

|

#DateFormat(Now(), "YYYY-MM-DD")#

|

#DateFormat('2008-04-10', "YYYY-MM-DD")#
</cfoutput>

Produces:
{ts '2008-04-10 10:26:21'} || {d '1905-06-16'} = {d '1905-06-16'} | {d
'2008-04-10'} | {d '2008-04-10'} | 2008-04-10 | 2008-04-10

This is on CFMX7.
