I may have missed something, but if you just want to
know what the numeric value of today is, why not just
use x = Day();
If you just want a "day number" that increases by 1 as
each day passes, why not use x = cum(1);
According to the help file, the Now() function gets
"current" system date/time (emphasis added).
