Hello, I have been using VFP for years but this is the first time I have had to access data from an SQL server.
I have the connection made and I can pull a query successfully. Here is my question: The date fields are coming over as character in 2013-10-16 format. Is there a way to get date fields or do I have to convert them ? Also there are many character fields that instead of being blank have .NULL. Do I need to convert these also ? What is the best way to convert the data or is there a way to tell SQL server to send it better ? This is probably very basic for most of you ... Any help is appreciated, Thanks, Kent _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
