Hi Rudy,

In SQL-Server it's GETDATE(), but the problem is, what if I want to 
pass that value like the poster earlier did -- in a CFSET or a 
CFPARAM in the page, as opposed to directly in the insert/update?  
Now() gets the USER's now.  GETDATE() is for the db.  Is there a way 
to say "now" for the "system" in a CFSET/CFPARAM?  Palyne
