Methods can only be called on instances not on classes.

I'm trying to use the following line to insert current date:

DateTime.strftime(%m-%d-%Y)

... and get:

unbound method strftime() must be called with instance as first argument

If I just use:

DateTime()

..I get current date, just not the format I want.

Ideas?

Thanks for your help. Israel
