Problem with date 1/1/1900

While waiting on a response from the sys admin, I decided to post this question.

I have a script (ASP/MSSQL - don't ask why) that allows users to post rental property they have. As a base, I used Enthrallweb's script (ASP/Access). Anyway, my script requires that each poster's entry sends information to the database on the current date and the current date + 90 days (expiration).

I use the ASP getdate() which sends information to the database just fine, but this information is always 1/1/1900. Is there something I can do to make sure the Internet time isnt' given, but instead the local time is?

Thanks in advance.

i didn't touch ASP for more then a year so i might be wrong but i think you should use getdate(now()) or something similar

I'm sure some folks will run into this in the future, so I guess I should post my solution.

Since it was on a Windows machine, I figured case-sensitivity wasn't an issue. I was wrong. The correct format is either GETDATE() or getDate().

Go figure.
