    Heh... thanks for posting your solution. I guess that's why I don't like DTS or SSIS... T-SQL makes it so much simpler...

    DECLARE @SomeDate VARCHAR(8)

    SET @SomeDate = '20090311'

    SELECT CAST(@SomeDate AS DATETIME) AS DateTimeDataType

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
