formatting of the dates only matters if you're trying to insert them as strings - you do not want to be doing that. Use cfqueryparam or createODBCDateTime. Don't use '2006-09-08 21:47:00' Alternatively, if you want to insert the current datetime just use the MySQL function NOW() Ie... insert into sometable ( dateField ) values ( Now() ); No pound signs, that's a mysql function, not a CF function.
