We do not want the "time" part of the SMALLDATETIME data field.  Do you know if there is a patch or hot fix for this problem?

Found a solution for this problem. &nbsp;My ODBC connection was using SQL Server driver. &nbsp;I deleted the ODBC Connection and setup a new connection using SQL Server Native Client 10.0. &nbsp;Deleted the linked tables and re-linked. &nbsp;Now the Access knows the new data type &quot;DATE&quot; is a date. &nbsp;Thanks for your help.

This solution would be good if you don't mind adding the time to the date. &nbsp;My solution worked best for what we needed. &nbsp;Thanks for the help.
