It doesn’t look like parameter purchdate is used anywhere.

Maybe try something like this:

   //cmd.Parameters.Add("@purchasedate", SqlDbType.DateTime).Value = Date.Text;
   if (Date.Checked)
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@purchasedate", Date);
   else
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@purchasedate", DBNull.Value);
