UPDATE [tblTransactions] SET [AllocatedDate] = ........
Basically I need to set AllocatedDate to "Today" using something like "Now" or "Now()"... any ideas? Thanks!

UPDATE [tblTransactions] SET [AllocatedDate] = getdate();

No, no, no, no. That is not ANSI/ISO standard! Use this instead:
UPDATE [tblTransactions] SET [AllocatedDate] = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;
:w00t::hehe:Ooops! Sorry, CELKO moment there. :hehe::w00t:
Actually either will work and I use GETDATE() all the time myself.
My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?
My advice:
INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.
