datetime field overflow (year 1899)

Hi,

I'm getting the datetime field overflow error using odbc to connect to an
sql database from access. This happens when I try to enter the date
13/01/1899. It did happen when using smalldatetime, which apparently does
have that problem of only going as far back as 1900, but since changing to
datetime the error still pops up.

Is there anything I can do?

Cheers,
Chris

After you change the datatype to datetime in SQL Server you need to refresh
the linked table in Access.

Strange it worked here.

Which version of Access / SQL are you using ?

SQL 8, Access 2002.... I guess the problem must be hiding someplace else..

SQL Server 2000 and Access XP, those are the same versions I used to test
this.

Hmm, strange.

I'd suggest you go back and check through the steps again.

Make sure the field type on SQL is now datetime
Go into Access and use the Tools/Database Utilities/Linked Table Wizard
to refresh the link
Test whether you can add the data through the table

I think the SQL requires US-format for dates: mm/dd/yyyy and it may be
choking up on a thirteenth month.

Hi ! I think that I have been found a bug in mx.DateTime... So: I use FireBird, and in this RDBMS the datetime fields are "doubles". So if I set them to 0, the values the fields are '1899-12-30 01:00:00'. When I try to see this datetime as European format (YYYY.MM.DD HH:MM:SS) I get error.
