[AccessD] SQL Server - Time only in date field

Hi John

But isn't the upsize thingy an Access tool?
This SQL should cause zero problems:

  insert into dbo_timetable (timefield) values (#12:00:00 AM#)

Which "other date problems" did you encounter? The datetime data type of Access/JET is very strict on holding valid dates/times only.
This sounds very weird.

It is valid in ACCESS, but may not be in SQL SERVER.  Or, as you say, it may
be a limitation of the upsize wizard.  All I know is that once I handled
these (and other date problems) the table moved.

Hi John

That is strange - or it may be a limitation in the upsize wizard - as
#12:00:00 AM# is a perfectly valid date value in Access.

In fact my question was more simple than that.  I have values in the date
fields that are #12:00:00 AM# for example.  Those values are NOT valid in
SQL Server, or at least will not upsize correctly.  I had to find and fix
all such values by adding some date to them to make them #1/1/1800 12:00:00
AM#.  Once I did that, the table with such fields would upsize.
