Hi Gregory,
I know that internally it is a double but setting it to a double or datetime set the value with time portion, still dropping the time portion in update/inserting into VFP:

loParm.Value = Datetime()
? '1',loParm.Value
loParm.Value = (DATE()-DATE(1899,12,30))+((DATETIME()-CAST(DATE() as datetime))/86400)
? '2',loParm.Value

Both print the same datetime value and both end up with time portion dropped in VFP.
