Either use
<cfquery name="Insert" datasource="lsars">
insert into taavon.history
(lid,summary,completedby,assignedby,comptime)
values ('#url.lid#',
'#form.summary#','#url.assigned#','',#CreateODBCDateTime(Now())#)
</cfquery>
Or
<cfquery name="Insert" datasource="lsars">
insert into taavon.history
(lid,summary,completedby,assignedby,comptime)
values ('#url.lid#', '#form.summary#','#url.assigned#','',Now())
</cfquery>
If you're using SQL server you can use
<cfquery name="Insert" datasource="lsars">
insert into taavon.history
(lid,summary,completedby,assignedby,comptime)
values ('#url.lid#', '#form.summary#','#url.assigned#','',GetDate())
</cfquery>
Or
<cfquery name="Insert" datasource="lsars">
insert into taavon.history
(lid,summary,completedby,assignedby,comptime)
values ('#url.lid#', '#form.summary#','#url.assigned#','',sysdate)
</cfquery>
