Eric,
If you are talking about variable types then Date is what you want. In VB, the Date data type is equivalent to the Datetime type. The Now function acts the same as the Datetime() function.

If you are talking about field types then we are talking apples and oranges as VB has no "fields" associated with it. Both Access and SQL Server use Datetime fields.
