Thanks for the reply!

I haven't tried converting at the source yet, but I'm looking up the syntax right now. I eventually need to use a SQL command anyway to filter out the Deleted() (dang foxpro) records. I might as well throw a convert to varbinary on the field.

I might end up having to export the data from Foxpro to a csv or something, but I'd rather not add a step to the process if I can avoid it.

I'll update this thread if converting at the source is successful.

Thanks again.
