I know this may sound stupid, but ...

What is the code for inserting today's date into a SQL DB from an ASP VBSript insert form?

ie: <%=Date()%>

Thanks,

<%=Date%> for just the date or <%=Now%> for date and time

Alternatively, don't insert the date at all, instead insert all the fields but the date and let SQL Server generate the date automatically.

Make the default value of the date field <b>getdate()</b>, this will generate the current date each time a new record is added to the table.
