if you want to have the database match exactly the session date, you will need to pass it in, otherwise, if it can be off by a few seconds(or minutes) then you can simply use the getdate() function in sql.

Post one of your failed attempts and let's see if we can fix it

In the ASP.NET page do something like this

(Assuming your data entry for date is a calendar).. it is the principle / logic here that matters.. not the methods

Session("Date") = Calendar1.Selected + " " + DateAndTime.TimeOfDay

'....
'....

cmd.commandText = "UPDATE tblName " _ 
SET dtm_column = CAST('" & CStr(Session(Date")) & "' AS smalldatetime)
WHERE blah = blah ...

example of this in SQL Server

SELECT CAST('2000-05-08 12:35:29.998' AS smalldatetime)
go

Result: 2000-05-08 12:35:00

Hope this helps
