Using v4.0.15 on WinNT under Apache.
For my sins, the client has insisted on creating a page counter!
The fields are to be CounterCode (Varchar 10), CounterValue (Int 10) and
CounterStartDateTime (DateTime).
Setting up the table is no problem. However, client wants to have the
UPDATE Table SET CounterValue = CounterValue+1, CounterStartDateTime =
(IF CounterStartDateTime IS NULL, Now())
without success.
It looks like you just have the syntax wrong. Try:
UPDATE Table SET CounterValue = CounterValue+1, CounterStartDateTime =
IF(CounterStartDateTime IS NULL,
.
...
etc.
Just my two cents worth

Thanks, Jeremy
What I actually needed was:
UPDATE Table
SET CounterValue = CounterValue+1,
CounterStartDateTime =
IF(CounterStartDateTime IS NULL, Now(), CounterStartDateTime)
This prevents it going back to NULL if the value is already not NULL.
Thanks again.
