First of all, while inserting dates, be sure field is set up as a date/time
field. Then, if you are using an ms access database, you must not use single
quotes.
insert into tablename (username, password, createDate)
values ('#Form.UserName#', '#Form.Password#', #CreateODBCDate(Now())#)
also you don't format the dates while inserting or updating them to the
database. Instead, you format them while outputting:
<cfoutput query="xyz">#DateFormat(CreateDate,'dd mm yyyy')#</cfoutput>
There is well written sql tutorial at
www.sqlcourse.com
that you should check.
