Re: CTime library & MS SQL Server date field.

Thanks a lot, I was missing the point about the 'time' problem, you know,
inexperienced programmers (aka ME) working on large projects sometimes get

I did the 'send to server' part with SQLExecDirect() but didn't tried yet...
Is that the right way to do the job?

Thanks again!
