Hi damber, I have never heared of an inbuilt asp format function! response.write(Format(Now, "dd-mm-yyyy hh:nn:ss")) When i run this i get back. Type mismatch: 'Format' -Gus

Hi DNG, I know i probably been a bit dim but i tried this as i thought Format must be a sQL command: [code] INSERT INTO offer(OfferCode, OfferPercent, OfferStartDate, OfferFinishDate, OfferDescription) VALUES ('24082005-174507',1, Format(04/08/2005 17:45:07, dd-mm-yyyy hh:nn:ss)...
