Then wouldn't he be couching this in a SQLEXEC()? If he's talking in terms of VFP - I had assumed he had an RV and wanted to know how to insert a DateTime in an RV - if he were asking about a pure T-SQL operation, then why ask in the VFP coding, syntax and commands area? It'd be marginal even in the Client/Server area.
