Default current datetime for column

Hi,

How do I design a table column named UpdateDate that will give the default date and time upon inserting a record into the table

I'm using Enterprise Manager in MSSQL

Many Thanks

It doesn't work for me. I have an error message when trying to use now().

create table tblname (
fieldname datetime default getdate()
)

In the column definition: default value = now()

Err: user must input default value to = ( getdate() )

With this SQL will insert the date + time everytime someone inserts values in that columns.
