SQL UPDATE with a Date Data Type

Hi folks,

I am doing an UPDATE to a table that has a field for a DATE data type. I am
using MS Access.

The UPDATE works fine but when I try to place the DATE field in the mix it
blows up.

The table name is rfi.

Here's a code snippet...
Dim dtNow As DateTime = DateTime.Now
UPDATE [rfi] SET [dateresolved]=dtNow WHERE ([rfi].[id] = @id)

It does not like dtNow, so I tried using dtNow.ToString ( ) which it also
did not like.
Next I changed the data-type for the dateresolved field from DATE to STRING
and tried to put in dtNow.ToString ( ) which it still did not like.

Finally, I hard coded a string in as "8/15/2006" which it accepted both as a
DATE type and as a STRING type.

Any ideas on what I may be missing would be appreciated.

glenn,

Were you able to debug to check what value is exactly passed. I guess, this
coould be because of the format of the date. Probably it is trying to pass
'dd/mm/yyyy' whereas your sql server expects 'mm/dd/yyyy' format.

Regards,
Augustin

Hi all, I'm trying to help out a friend who has inherited a client with a PHP shopping cart application.

Hi First up, I am using MS Access 2002. I have a database which records analyst rating changes for a list of companies on a daily basis. Unfortunately, the database has been set up (by my predecessor, I hasten to add) so that each day it creates a copy of the record for each company, changes the date to today's date, and prompts the user for any changes of ratings on that day. The resulting data table grows by approx 600 records per...

It would be udeful to be able to get the current on-screen values from a FormView that is databound to an ObjectDataSource by using a callback instead of a postback. For example: public void RaiseCallbackEvent(string eventArgs) { // update the data object with the values currently on screen FormView1.UpdateItem(true); }

I have an input form that passes data when submitted to a second form to let the user know what they have just entered into the db. My question comes with using 'update'. I'd like to query the database by equipment number (equipno is unique) and query all fields from that row, populating an original form 'look alike' whereby the user can add detail to the original records as the db builds. I'm using 'date' twice because I'd like to...

Hi guys - I have written a form, and a stored procedure to update the said form. It really is as simple as that. A user can go into the form, update some fields and hit the update button to update the information which is stored in a SQL database. In testing we noticed that the form was updating correctly but the update mechanism was also updating the first record of the table in the sql database every time. No error messages are on...
