Inserting a Date from a Hidden Form Field

I want a date to insert into the database from a hidden field on a form (to show when the form has been updated.) I know in PHP you would use <?php echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s');?> in the value box, but what is the syntax for ASP?

Cheers

Thanks Pat.

I just realized I only need the date to show. with Date(), it will display as MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS PM. What is the syntax inside the () to just get it to do MM/DD/YYYY? tried m,d,y and %m. %d, %y but that didn't work (ODBC error)
