The word Date is a reserved word. It is good practice to avoid naming
fields with a reserved word. In this case, wrap it in hard brackets such as
[date] = '#createODBCDate(now())#'

Tow things here: first a date value needs no quotes in SQL, then use
this instead:
Date = #createODBCdate(Now())#
Secondly, Date is a reserved word in several db systems, it would be a
good idea to use another field name.

You are missing a comma after '#form.Fax#'

I know this is probably obvious to

Should read Fax = '#form.Fax#',

I think it should be:

I know this is probably obvious to most of you here, but I
have an error on an update statement that I need some
enlightenment on please. I'm using MSSQL2k, CFMX7 and I have
an insert statement that works fine using
#createODBCdate(Now())# but my update bombs on it??
First, the Now
oooh. good catch :)

first off, DATE is a reserved word and probably shouldn't be used as a
column name. if you can't change it, at least enclose it in brackets
([DATE])
in your SQL, remove the single quotes from the #createODBCDate(now())# value.
also, look into using cfqueryparam (hey if i didn't say it, somebody

Thanks all for the quick responses, I've changed the field name from Date to
AccessDate, makes more sense too. I used cfqueryparam on my insert and just
trying to get this thing to work in the raw first ;). As for using jdbc instead
of odbc, I have yet to get cf to register the ds using the SQL
First, the Now function returns an ODBC timestamp
Are you sure of that?
Now () is supposed to return a date-time object which is a foating point
value, not an ODBC date.
But it is possible that it will be automatically converted to an
ODBCDate by the CFQUERY tag.
And if it does so, then it is

You can easily test this:
cfoutput#Now()#/cfoutput

This only shows that CFOUTPUT formats a date-time object as an ODBC
dateTime stamp by default, not that Now() returns it.
If it was so, then Now() + 1 would cause an error, since one cannot add
a number to a string.
Try
It's often easier to use CFQUERYPARAM, actually - for example, you don't
have to worry about single quotes.
But if you want only a date, with no time, you still need to use
CreateODBCDate () to format the date properly for CFQUERYPARAM,
then it is is not that much easier.

CFOUTPUT doesn't format anything. It outputs values of expressions.
If it was so, then Now() + 1 would cause an error, since one
cannot add a number to a string.
Try
CF casts datatypes when necessary in an expression. I don't see how
this is
any different from any other casting in CF.
This is what I meant.
CFOUTPUT cannot output anything else than a string, then the expression
between #...# must be converted to a string before it can be processed.
