Its been one of those days... I may post about that later.

Remind me again why we are converting the date/time to a string and storing it as such...

I ask because I'm upgrading the online testing software where I work and in the process migrating to SQL Server 2005. I'm also tightening the integration with the forum, hence the question. As soon as I get the new structure planned out, I'm going to write the script to migrate the data from Access to SQL Server and if needed convert the date/time information.

That's what I thought. Just checking - that first cup of coffee didn't really help...

Since I want to make use of functions like chkDate, UpdateLastHereDate, etc. I'll probably use the same format.

it is because different databases and ASP all treat datetime variables differently, it is therfire much safer to store the data as either text (Snitz does this) or as an integer.
