>Open your page. Check the current time. Sit for some time (say, 5 minutes) without doing anything. Then update your data and press Update button. What date would you have in your DateCompleted field? Would it be the current time or the time you opened your page?

Ran the test as you requested. It provides the time of the save not the time the page was opened. The code is in the Item_Updateing event

	Protected Sub FormView1_ItemUpdating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.FormViewUpdateEventArgs) Handles FormView1.ItemUpdating
		SqlDataSource2.UpdateParameters("DateCompleted").DefaultValue = Now()
	End Sub
