Again, why ask a T-SQL question in a VFP forum? Think about this - if it's being done outside of VFP, why ask in a VFP forum; if it's in VFP using SPT, then it has to be couched in a SQLPREPARE() or SQLEXEC(), and if it's an RV, then he's talking to it as a VFP table using VFP syntax. Think about the context of the question - either he's lost, he's left out a crucial part of the statement needed to make it work, or he's talking an RV, which behaves as if it were a VFP table.

EOT from my POV.

>>>Hi Ed yungkie is talking about sqlserver no vfp in sql server you should use datetime as string so the insert will be like this:
>>>

>>>INSERT INTO my_Table (fld_character, fld_datetime) ;
>>>   VALUES ('this is a test','2001-11-21 04:26:00')
>>>

>>>

>>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.
