ASP Now() function

[Newsgroup_User]

Hi.
I have a hiddenfield on my form with the value of <%Now() %>
My form update the database and i expected the hidden field code to insert
today's date, but it's not working.
The form isn't inserting the date.
Any ideas why?

Thanks

It's ok - I sorted it.
If it's any use it should have been <%=Now() %>

Silly me
:-)

And if you want only the date (as opposed to date and time), use:
<%= Date() %>
