I am needing some help with date field issues.
I have a date field that I am saving to the db as local(now()). Then when it gets pulled from the db it is one day in the past. Then when I display it with local or with out local it is two days in the past. I have even got rid of the local when saving to db and it still does the same thing. Does any one have any suggestions?

Local applies a fixed time zone offset relative to GMT - not relative to your process model time, so if your process model is set to use your local timezone I would expect this to give an invalid result. Even though your database may store date/time values as GMT (that is normal practice) it is rendered in the user or process model time zone after it is read back from the DB
