1) sorry, I missed that (too many posts to read them all in detail)
2) by casting I meant formatting it so it fits the field's data type; your
UDF is a perfect example
3) agreed
It looks like OP will go with casting/formatting the numeric so it fits the
DATE instead anyway.

Subject: RE: SQL Date Math
Three things Elvis...
1) I already mentioned the performance issue ;-)
2) You can't CAST() from Date to Numeric
3) The UDF shown was for the date to numeric conversion, to resolve issues 1
& 2
(Just didn't want to give somebody reading the archives the wrong idea about
my UDF <grin>)
