RE: Re[2]: [PHP-WIN] Anyone on? INSERT INTO with MS Access proble m

Gonzalo, Thanks for all of your help. I'm just about at wits end. Your direct email address doesn't work, so I have to post to the list. Could you check the properties on your date field in Access? Particularly your "Format:" I really don't know how this would make much difference, but I'll try just about any avenue now. Going to check the "UPDATE" right now...
