You can ask VFP to convert the SQL datetime value to a VFP date value either by code or through the view designer.

In the view designer. Select "fiels" page, click "properties" and under "data mapping" select "date".

By code: DBSetProp( 'rv_YourView.yourfield', 'Field', 'DataType', 'D' )



>We are creating views against a SQL Server and have encountered new thing (go figure). In the SQL server, there is a datetime field and we tried to setup a VFP view to pull just the date portion in the view:
>
>ttoc(subs(record_datetime,1,10)) as JustDate
>
>When we attempt to run the view, we get an ODBC error saying function ttoc not found, if we try just substring() we get a conversion error, but if we do left(record_datetime,1,10) it works returning a character field.
