It's working fine. My problem is that I'm returning a date from one field and a time from another one. The date's type is Date and the time's type is Char. I need to use those values to query data in my FoxPro database, and would like to easily concatenate the date and time to make a valid datetime to use in my query.

I don't know whether this is "quick" enough; or whether there is a better method. But you can create a datetime value with the datetime() function.

Assuming your time is in a format like:

02:15:15

or

 2:15:15 && starts with a space

you might use:

MyDateTimeValue = datetime(year(MyDate), month(MyDate), day(MyDate),;
  val(left(MyTime, 2)), val(substr(MyTime, 4, 2)), val(substr(MyTime, 7, 2)))
