following data and I get the subsequent message.
INSERT INTO t_Answer ( AnswerID, AssessmentID, QuestionID, EvaluationValue,
AnswerText, CreationUser_ID, RevisionUser_ID )
VALUES ( 457 , 130, 4, '14', 'testing what I want to do better', 152, 152 )
Server: Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Syntax error converting datetime from character string.
As you can see, I'm not entering any datetime data. I do, however, have two
fields that are date time fields.
I don't know what to do next so that i can enter data in the database.
I've tried to enter info into another table and got the same message.
Thanks for your help,
KarolusHi
At http://www.aspfaq.com/etiquette.asp?id=5006 there is instructions to post
DDL which would tell us what datatypes your columns are.
Check if there are any triggers on this table or invalid defaults e.g.
CREATE TABLE MyDate ( ID INT, ADATE datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT 'Help' )
INSERT INTO MyDate (id) values (1)
gives your error.

I suspect the problem is to be found there, or in a default attached to a
user defined type.

EvaluationValue,
152 )
have two|||Hi Karolus,
I agree with John. You may need to check triggers entering values into
RevisionDtm and CreationDtm.
You have four not null fields for that you didn't provide values in
your insert statement,
so you may have triggers for them.
I hope it help you.
Kim|||Hi
CreationDtm and Revisiondtm are not nullable, but you have not supplied a
value in your statement, therefore you would get an error for that but
normally not the one you have stated, therefore I think you may have default
s
in the user defined types DateTimeRequired and DateTmCreated that are
incorrect.

CURRENT_TIMESTAMP is a keyword and mustn't be quoted as a string:
CREATE DEFAULT D_DateTm
AS CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
