Donald,
What type are the foxpro date fields? Datetime or date? As I understand it in CCS the DBFormat property must match that one in the database. I believe, Foxpro's format is YYYY-MM-DD.

in foxpro i only used the date format, not datetime. so i format for 'yyyy-mm-dd' and it blows up with a datatype mismatch. the common.php handels the date as an array and i don't understand how it figures to insert an array into a date field.
thanks for the reply,
don

Donald,
Maybe you'd accept a workaround as a solution. The ODBC error appears to be triggered by the fact that CCS exports the date as a string whilst foxpro expects a {^yyyy-mm-dd}. The following code in the BeforeExecuteUpdate and the BeforeExecuteInsert seems to do the trick. It replaces the portion of the SQL statement that exports the date field and fixes this with the correct syntax (I hope).
global $rgv_clientes; // your forms where
$oldSQL = $rgv_clientes->ds->SQL; // originally generated SQL statement
$dateField = $rgv_clientes->cliente_desde; // date field
$fieldToFind = $dateField->Name; // name of date field
$lengthDate = 20; // length of the date value i.e. a string like '2002-12-01 00:00:00'
$fieldStrLen = strlen($fieldToFind); // length of name of the date field
$miPos = strpos($oldSQL,$fieldToFind); // start position of the date field withing the SQL statement
if ($miPos === false)
echo "no encontrado";
$firstQuote = ($miPos+$fieldStrLen+1); //position of the first single quote i.e end of field + position of the = sign
$strToReplace = $fieldToFind."=".substr($oldSQL,$firstQuote,$lengthDate+1); //
$strToUse = $fieldToFind."="."{^".substr($oldSQL,$firstQuote+1,$lengthDate-1)."}";//
$startPos = strpos($oldSQL,$strToReplace);
$newSQL = substr_replace($oldSQL,$strToUse,$startPos,strlen($strToUse));
$rgv_clientes->ds->SQL = $newSQL; // revised SQL Statement for VFP.

Donald,
Same thing as function.
Regards
Luis
function SQLToFox($sql,$myform,$myfield)
{
if (strlen($sql))
{
$newSQL = "";
$FieldName = $myfield->Name;
$DataType = $myfield->DataType;
$FieldPos = strpos($sql,$FieldName);
if ($FieldPos !== false)
{
switch ($DataType)
{
case ccsDate:
$FieldLength = 20;
$firstQuote = ($FieldPos+strlen($FieldName)+1); //position of the first single quote i.e end of field + position of the = sign
$strToReplace = $FieldName."=".substr($sql,$firstQuote,$FieldLength+1); //
$strToUse = $FieldName."={^".substr($sql,$firstQuote+1,$FieldLength-1)."}";//
$startPos = strpos($sql,$strToReplace);
$newSQL = substr_replace($sql,$strToUse,$startPos,strlen($strToUse));
return $newSQL;
break;
case ccsBoolean:
//There may be other data types in VFP
//$FieldLength = 1;
break;
default :
return $sql;
}
}
else
{
return $sql;
}
}
}
