Hi Dave,

I just thought it did then, I guess. I've heard there were problems in a SQL SELECT on a datetime value. Kind of like adding a decimal value instead of an integer to a date:

d1 = DATE()
d2 = d1 + .05
? d1, d2   && both print the same value
? d1=d2    && .F.!

The date values will strip off any of the excess when written to a field. Drove me nuts in a scheduler I did years ago when two date variables wouldn't compare!
