Chris,
For MS-SQL, you can use the attached function.  It will convert the date

field's integer value into a SQL datetime value.  Keep in mind that the 
minimum value for a datetime field in MS-SQL is January 1, 1753 (Remedy
date 
fields go back to January 1, 4713 B.C.).  So, I wrote the function to
simply 
return 01/01/1753 for any Remedy dates that fall earlier than the MS-SQL

minimum.

Hope this helps,

Thomas

Hey everyone,


I added a date field to a form and when we are trying to get the value
out in SQL we're not getting what we expect.  If I just do a select of
the field, I get a 7 digit number (2454436).  If I try and run the same
conversion against it that is run against the date/time fields:



convert (varchar(10),dateadd(second, Invoicemonth, '1 January 1970'),
101) 'Invoice Month 1'



we get 1/28/1970.  I'm no SQL expert- how can I get the value of that
field in a MM/DD/YYYY format?



Thanks!

Chris
