Browse All TopicsHi Guys,
I have the following stored procedure in SQL Server 2005 Express (Please see code area) which takes the brand name and time of call as input parameters and carries out a number of tests to see if the phone lines are open. This works fine in SQL management studio (please see code area) it returns the values that I expect. But when I go to execute it in vbs (please see code area) I get the error message "The conversion of a char data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value". I understand what the error is saying but I am struggling on see what I have to do to fix it. Please can someone advise?
Also I need to be able to access the return value that is returned from the stored procedure. How do I do this?
Also if anyone can see any inefficiencies in the SQL then please shout as I will admit im a beginner.
Hope this makes sense and if you need any more informaiton then let me know.
Regards,
Nigel

You will see that date format 114 is "14:01:23:123" (HH:MM:SS:ms) and you are passing in "10:21:54" (HH:MM:SS). That is format code 24.
Try this.

SQL Server cannot parse '10:x:x' as a datetime value. Try changing your input parameter to varchar(10) instead of datetime.
