>Thank you, Cetin. I don't know what you mean by "SQL injection", I am only SQL Server newbie. And I will see how using CAST() can help me create one-string approach that will work for either SQL Server or VFP. Passing date variable as a parameter right now is not attractive approach.

OK. SQL injection in summary means you're opening your database to the public.
