What's your backend database? If it's SQL Server you could use the CONVERT() function to return only the date portion in a character field. Then whenever you send the updates SQL Server will not complain about the type, as long as it's in a date format that it can understand. I think it's Convert(character(10), myField, 121) to get the date portion only on a character field.

How are you planning to send the updates back?
