Re: TIMESTAMP type interpreted as char by OleDb -- RPG400-L

It is the default. It converts date and timestamp fields to Char. Look at
the properties for your OLEDB connection and you will find one where you can
tell it to leave the field as Date or Timestamp.

I created an SQL table using Systemi Navigator. I added a timestamp type
column.

When I read this table in via oledb to my vb.net project, it interprets it
as character.

Which does not allow any editing by Crystal reports when I report this
column.

Any idea why oledb interpreted a timestamp type column as char? Thanks.
I certainly am not asking for help with Crystal reports, but just why this
column is char.
