I am using MSDE for the first time and am having problems with dates. I have had this problem with dates on all the DB's I have used. I can just never work out the format... 'Insert into Table (aDate) values (''#'+FormatDateTime('yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss', Now)+'#'')' ; What format string should I use for this to work? Using DBGo TADOQuery... Cheers, David O'Brien.
