First of all you have your SQL statement in the wrong order
It should be
UPDATE
SET
WHERE
Secondly now in cf is #Now()# not #now#. That is of course if you haven't
set a variable higher up in your template called now. If you do have one I
would suggest renaming it to something else to avoid confusion.
