Graham, >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?
Whoa, don't panic yet. I'm late to this discussion, but if you want to deal with the datetimes as just plain old dates in VFP and don't care about the time portion being correctly written back to the backend, you CAN do it with CursorAdapter without much trouble at all. Just set up your CursorSchema property to define the cursor the way you want it, including Date type for any datetime fields being queried. Then, when you issue a CursorFill() be sure to include the first parameter as .T., which tells the adapter to actually use the CursorSchema you went to the trouble of setting up. .CursorSchema = "somefield C(25), somedate D" .SelectCmd = ... CursorFill(.T.) However, in VFP9, a new property was introduced that forces use of the CursorSchema without having to do the first param. .UseCursorSchema = .T. I set that property in my CursorAdapter first-level subclass and never worry about it again. This works just fine as long as you set it up one of these ways. You have a date type in the cursor and when the data is updated to the backend, the datetime is written to the database with 00:00:00 time portion.
