Hi There,

I need to update a table field with the Month & Year of a field with a date in it.

I have tried this:
UPDATE Rental
SET MonYear = MONTH(RentalStartDate) + YEAR(RentalStartDate)

But where the month is 08 and the year is 2012 I get a result of 2020 (08 + 2012 = 2020) instead of 082012 as a concate of the two

Any help would be appreciated.

Best regards,

Steve

[code]
UPDATE Rental
SET MonYear = CAST(MONTH(RentalStartDate) AS varchar(2)) + CAST( YEAR(RentalStartDate) AS varchar(4))
[/code]
