Hi, You're right: something else was wrong! Thanks to Chris Withers for pointing me in the right direction: it was the ZSQL method which was the problem. Changing it to the following made everything work: --------------------------------------- Argument: ejournal_id:int update new_ejournals set actioned_date='<dtml-var ZopeTime fmt=%d/%m/%Y>' where ejournal_id=<dtml-sqlvar ejournal_id type=int> --------------------------------------- Thanks to everyone for your help, John Whalley On 20 Jun 02, at 21:53, Dieter Maurer wrote:

Something else must be wrong.
You already know the "<dtml-var REQUEST>" tip to analyse what you get from an HTTP summit?
Use "showRequest" as the form action. "showRequest" is a DTML method with the following content:
<dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-bar REQUEST> <dtml-var standard_html_footer>
