Update Date of datetime field without changing time
Hi does anyone know how to update a datepart?
or update the date
update table set datepart(dd, tablename) = '30'
What I want to do is udpate records date data but only the day
so where all of the records > '2009-07-25 00:00:00.000'
are updated to 30 i.e. 2009-07-30, I want to leave the timestamp portion alone in the records.
Thanks in advance.

I see, this code will add 5 day's.. I should used the real situation, my fault.
due to a development issue in the access front end. all dates are set to 1/1/1900. I can update them based on the departure date, since these need to be the same.

Question is, if this is doable with the dateadd function ? My first intent was to update via datapart every part of the date without the risk to loose the time settings
