Here’s my query

Dim query as String = "Select * from openquery (devbook, 'SELECT wb.arrival_time FROM web_bookings wb ')"

All I need is to convert my arrival_time into a datetime field in the query

Is this possible?

Jamie

    Yes,
    “SELECT CONVERT (DATETIME, wb.arrival_time, XXX) FROM web_bookings wb”

    Where XXX is the format of your string…

    Check out http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187928.aspx for the list of format codes…

    So if your string date time was in dd/MM/yyyy format eg 28/12/2008 then your code would be

    Dim query as String = "Select * from openquery (devbook, 'SELECT CONVERT (DATETIME, wb.arrival_time, 103) FROM web_bookings wb ')"
