Now that I have them in SQL, I would like to convert them to datetime (mmddyyyy).Any help is greatly appreciated.Joe" |

| What format are the dates in at the moment?A datetime is a decimal number not mmddyyyy. Any date in format yyyymmdd can be implicitely converted to a datetime.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
