| I am using sql server 2000 and I have a field that is varchar that contains nothing but dates in the format 'June 16' for instance. Can I convert that to datetime or shortdatetime without loss of data? Thanks! |

You'll need to tack on a year, but aside from that it shouldn't be a problem.declare @t varchar(10)set @t = 'June 16'select convert(datetime,@t+' 2003') Jay White{0} |
