Getdate() with no time associated

Is there a command that will let me set getdate() a in a smalldatetime field so that the there is no time associated with it?

For example, I have a table that I want to load the date a user does an action. If I use getdate() I'll get a value such as 5/25/2006 08:26:56.340, whereas I would just like a value 5/25/2006.

I can work it out by doing the following: select (datename(month,getdate())+'-'+datename(day,getdate())+'-'
+datename(year,getdate()))

However it seems to me that there should be a simpler way.well, i dunno if it's simpler, but this is a lot more efficient --

dateadd(d,datediff(d,0,getdate()),0)|||Towards the bottom of this article is an explanation on the why and how :)

EDIT - how about I post the article link eh?
