hi paul,

the above sets all the millisec times to 000
the prob is im running a sync between m$sql & an interbase db
where the timestamp on the sqlserver side is always assumed to
be correct
i tried putting in the value i get from sqlserver as datetime,
astring, asvariant, assqltimestamp & all of them failed

for datetime the ms time invariably gets set to 000
extremely annoying when theres a large number of rows with
the same date & time only the msec's differ so its critical
that the data be accurate on both sides...

anyone else running into the above scenario ?
