Hi!

When you use views, in the view designer open fied properties dialog box, select the date field in combobox and then change type for that field from datetime to date. VFP will automatically convert all datetime fields to date fields when downloading data from SQL Server.

For SQL Pass-Through or for ADO you will have to do this on the interface level, unfortunately. Just do not bind textbox to the field, but in textbox's Refresh method read the value directly by code and convert it to date, then in the Valid event store changed value back to the field.

HTH.
