>>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 <cfoutput>#Now()+1#</cfoutput> and you'll get a number, not an ODBC date. This is because Now() is known as a date object, thus may be formated as a date, but Now()+1 is just a number, and formated as such by CFOUTPUT. -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
