Hey Spencer,
Sounds like you are getting things in order there in decent shape -
With the insert date. I need to look up to verify - but I have to run shortly.
Have you tried making default value in your database field be =now()
?
I think that will auto put in the date - just format it to short date format if that is what you want.

The easiest way is simply:
<input type="hidden" name="date" value="<%=time%> <%=date%>">
...to give you the time and date. Not the most efficient way of writing it, but the easiest to adapt in your situ.

<%=NOW%> will insert date/time if you want finer detail in your inputs
