>In the process of converting VFP based database to SQL server.
>One problem faced is that for all date fields on screens( forms), as the dates fields (in VFP database) are now replaced by datetime in SQL, the fields are showing the time portion as well.
>Would like to know solution for following:-
>1) How to ensure all fields display only date portion of field. We also have the problem when capturing date values to our report queries, since the dates contain time, if we range the values (what used to be eg sales from 1/1/2006 to 31/1/2006 then, now we have to somehow default everything to 1/1/2006:00:00:00 to 31/1/2006:24:00:00. Any shortcut to do this?

Easiest way is to use CursorSchema and bind DateTime fields to Date if you use CursorAdapter. If you use RemoteViews you must Map fields also in View Designer. If you use SPT there is no way, than you must work around with TTOD() function to conver DateTime to Date.
If you use only date portions than in SQL Server they will be stored like 1/1/2006:00:00:00 so you could easyly use range
DateTime BETWEEN '20060101' AND '20060131'



>2) We use fields for data input, how to default the date fields instead of having null values displayed like 01/01/1900 of something like that.

I always set DateTime fields in SQL Server to be NULLable and have a custom class based on TextBox wich handle NULLs as empty Date.
