Time and Date on Server Script?

[wjmartin]

I have a script that records some information and includes the date (and time) of the recording using 'Insert Current Date". It all works fine when I trigger the script manually.

I want to set the server to run the script automatically but I have discovered that when the script is run from the server, the "Insert Current Date" does not work.

How can I get a Server Script to record the current date?

It works for me. But I use the Get(Current Date) in a set field step.

But, be sure to show the "Web Compatible" steps. You may have a illegal step in the script that is stopping its execution.

Thanks Mike - I notice "Insert" does not work if you dont have an open layout containing the field, which is the situation with a Server Script. However, "Get" does work in this circumstance.

Problem solved - thanks.
