I get an error when I try that! why pass anything from CF? why not just make the default value of the field in the database getDate()? if you're updating...just pass getDate() (just like that. no quotes, no # signs (it's a SQL Server function, not a CF function)). no need to make CF do any thinking :) -- Charlie Griefer ================================================ "...All the world shall be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you.
