(Gee this is old but whatever)The error doesn't lie, Gretchen. You need to pass a format that VFP understands to be a date:{^'YYYY-MM-DD'} usually works.HTHquote: Gretchen writes "I am trying to pass a date from a table in SQL server to update a table in VFP6.

| wow, {^'YYYY-MM-DD'} brings back memories of some great battle.Maybe next year someone will go back in time, step a on a bug change the course of history and wipe FoxPro from it's place within it. You ain't never seen such iteration! I'm dealing with it's weak disintegrated corpse on a daily basis, common old man..die already.But I think that date format is derived from X-Base but I'm no historian...but yeah that was a battle those curly baces, this thing ^ and ODBC,.. who knew...who cared...sad really,?? Should have bailed before I figured it out. Voted best SQL forum nickname...."Tutorial-D" |
