Hi Yew,

in addition to James' suggestion of using datepart in the query, SQL2008 does in fact have a date column type: http://www.sqlteam.com/article/using-the-date-data-type-in-sql-server-2008. Since you are using SPT, you are probably not updating the cursor (by setting the cursor properties to support buffering, etc.), so datepart ought to work for you.

hth,

Hank
