Hi Chris.
>How can I read a SQL Server timestamp field in VFP?
Define "read". Timestamp fields are automatically converted to Memo fields in VFP remote views but could be Character (Binary) if desired. They are eight bytes long and store a time value in hexadecimal format. If you use the ASC() function to read byte-by-byte, a typical value might be 0-0-0-0-0-0-197-97.
