Where are you getting the InDate variable from, and if the DATELOG field is a DateTime field, why are you putting in (To_Date('12/25/99','12/25/99') as the value of that field? What does To_Date do? Please excuse me if these are Oracle functions, I'm not too familar with the specifics of that DBMS....

Hi Tom

The To_Date reconise by VB6 as a datetime fuction for oracle date and time, by refering to vb help file ..

-----------------------------------
==Entering Dates in the Grid and SQL Panes==

When you enter a valid date in the Grid pane, the Query Designer replaces the date you entered with a call to the TO_DATE( ) function, using your date as one of the parameters. This assures that Oracle will correctly interpret that data you have entered.

You can enter dates directly in the SQL pane, but you must enter them in exactly the format specified for your database, as specified by the current session's NLS_DATE_FORMAT value. Because there might not be an easy way to determine the correct format, it is advisable to use the TO_DATE( ) format in the SQL pane. For example, a query might look like this:

SELECT EMP_ID, HIRE_DATE
FROM EMPLOYEE
WHERE HIRE_DATE > TO_DATE('01/01/90', 'MM/DD/YY')

For details about the TO_DATE( ) function, refer to the Oracle documentation.
------------------------------------------
The problem occur when i save the date using formatdatetime(Date, "dd-mm-yyyy").

ex: for date 24 of Dec 1999

The database reconise it as 24-Jan-00
