Tim,

I don't know how you were attempting to use a parameter, but check out this post from Cetin an example of what your syntax should be: Message #1229452

Let me know if that helps.

>>>Ok I know I have been away from foxpro for awhile now and we still have a few fox tables around we use. I need to add a row to a fox table that contains a date. I am using a simple Insert command. Problem is the dot net DateTime structure is so different. Is there a way to change the format of get a format in C# Dot net that allows me to insert or update a fox table?
