Hi Thanks Stephen
Just thinking about this, isn't the basic design of a foxpro app to assign the fields to the control source and then issue a tableupdate to commit. Changing the app to native datetimes means I can't use control source for any dates as I'd have to assign the date time to a variable, cast it to a date then place this in the text.value property. Does this mean the select statement in the ca is ignoring the cursorschema property when its fetching data? VFP not being able to handle dates when talking to SQL server sounds fairly major? Sounds nasty! I was looking to have one app with two sets of CAs so it's a quick swap but that doesn't sound feasible with this?

Getting just the date from SQL Server = select CONVERT(VARCHAR(12), your_Column|Or_Var here, 101) That 101 is an identifier for the look of the output and it's set for a USA date look and feel. As a heads up, Fox & Dates is your problem. If you convert all your fox based systems to date time columns you will be much farther along in getting this problem worked out.
