Hi Mike, 1. Please post the code of your getCntlDate() function. 2. Tell us where getCntlDate() is getting it's input from if it is not obvious in the code. ...
How much data. If it's not too much, fix it. Do a query that pulls up the non dates and fix them. If you see patterns use update queries. It seems to me...
For how much, about 8000 records total of which I'd estimate at least half are giving me the data mismatch error ... I have the original data in one field and...
