>Can SQL Server 6.5 have an actual null value for a datetime column or will it always default to Jan. 1, 1900, 12:00:00?
SQL Server can have a null value for a DateTime field....the problem is on the Fox side is that a null datetime value coming over will be assigned a default in the local view something like 10/31/1899....at least in my experience.
