problem with timestamp
the first field in my table is a timestamp which i want automatically filled with current date/time when i add a new record, as well as modify existing record. the modify works fine, but add fills with 0s. add works ok until i use the Resync Database function in Admin. this changes default to CURRENT_TIMESTAMP and changes NOT NULL to NO. when i have NOT NULL = YES and blank default value, it works. why does resync change these properties and is there something i can put in default that will work?

As a default, try NOW() .. this should put the current timestamp in there.

this is so weird to me! ok, i changed not null to YES and put now() in default. it still filled with 0000-00.... when i added a record. then i did resync database. it changed column properties not null to NO and default value to 0000-00-00.... but now it works. i don't understand, but it works. thanks!
