Ok, I gave some direction. The fact that you can't do your own work is no fault
of Firebird. The Firebird (with Interbase) uses UDF's for added funtionality.
SQL Server has all of the date functions from VBA... well, because, it has
bindings to VBA.

Regardless, for all of the grateful people out there that care about this thread:

Select Cast(Extract(Month From MyDate) || '\' || Extract(Day from MyDate) || '\'
|| Extract(Year from MyDate) + 1) as Timestamp
From MyTable
