Hi all,

I have a varchar field in a table which contains dates in yyyy-mm-dd format. 
The problem is that some have entered invalid dates like 1975-01-00 and I 
want to convert it to a date field to avoid this nonsense. Is there a way to 
test for failure of a type conversion and insert a NULL on failure?

Thanks,
Nick
