GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table1](
[TimesheetDate] [nvarchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[EmpID] [int] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
INSERT INTO [Table1] ([TimesheetDate],[EmpID])VALUES('2008-03-07 00:00:00.000',3)

What are the bounds of the missing dates? Gotta know what you require as a Non-missing date before we can find missing dates.

Also, storing dates as NVarchar is a really, really bad idea for more reasons than I can type out.

--Jeff Moden

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.

In addition to what Jeff said, it would also be nice to see what you have already tried to solve this problem. We don't want to start down the same path you might have if you are having problems.
