Do you want to know the time when the form was 'opened' (viewed you
mean) or actually saved? For example, I may hit your form at 12:01 PM,
and it may take me 5 minutes to fill it out. So would you want 12:01 PM
stored, or 12:06 PM, the time when the form was actually submitted? If
you want the first time, simply eded this in the form:

<input type="hidden" name="theTime" value="#now()#">

and store form.theTime in your db. If you want the time submitted, just
passed now() to your database (or whatever function your db uses to
represent the current time).
