I'm using MSSQL2k, CFMX7 and I have an insert statement that works fine using "#createODBCdate(Now())#" but my update bombs on it?? Here's my update: UPDATE AdminPersonnel SET First_Name = '#form.First_Name#', Last_Name = '#form.Last_Name#', MI = '#form.MI#', Division = '#form.division#', Degree = '#form.Degree#', Title = '#form.Title#', Email = '#form.Email#', Phone = '#form.Phone#', Fax = '#form.Fax#' Date = '#createODBCdate(Now())#', IPAddress = '#CGI.REMOTE_ADDR#' WHERE ID = #form.ID# And here is the error Error Executing Database Query. [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket][Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'Date'. The error occurred in D:\WebNew\domis\admin\actUpdateAdminPersonnel.cfm: line 16: line 1 Called from D:\WebNew\index.cfm: line 17 14 : Date = '#createODBCdate(Now())#', 15 : IPAddress = '#CGI.REMOTE_ADDR#' 16 : WHERE ID = #form.ID# 17 : </cfquery> Awaiting your enlightenment ;) Bob ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 by AdobeĀ® Dyncamically transform webcontent into Adobe PDF with new ColdFusion MX7.
