[DUG-TO] Date + Calendar are great but...

Tue May 5 14:08:07 EDT 2009

Hi Eduardo,

I just was dealing with similar issue. There is a bug in current stable 
Date module (6.x-2.1) - it's not working if the default date in the 
filter is "now". The solution is to use the latest dev release.

Sincerely,
Alex
