MS SQL 2008 and stored prodcures and dates
I am using MS SQL Sever 2014 - my database is running in 2008 compatibility mode.
In my asp page (classical asp) I am programmatically executing a stored procedure.
The table I am inserting into has a datetime column.
I have looked and looked but I can not find what the parameter datatype is called- I think it is adDate.
The date to be inserted is in the format YYYY-mm-dd i.e. 2017-03-20
Can someone tell me what it is and if my date programmatically will insert. It worked okay when I executed the sproc from within
MS SQL Server Mamnagement but now it will be within my coding on my asp page. Thank you.

Sorry, lost touch with classic ASP. However, please feel free to take it if it helps, otherwise simply ignore.
To my knowledge, sql server will happily take string as a date "so long as" it successfully converts it to legitimate date, for example, 2017-03-20 or even 20170320. You can try it yourself in SSMS.
In addition, I think you should format your date as YYYY-MM-dd and NOT YYYY-mm-dd, because small m is for the minute and not for month. Which could be causing an issue. Please check.

Thank you for responding. I can identify with your statement about classic ASP but its like riding a bicycle! The @ is used when creating the stored proc in MS - which is what I did, The small mm was a good catch. Its correct in my coding where I convert the date. I just wasn't sure if
the parameter datatype was adDateTime or just adDate and I have searched and searched....
It will be a day or two before I can retest - having issues with IIS 7 not letting my pages display - can't find them! Sigh

Please refer to this.
Accordingly, may be you should use adDBDate and send date as YYYYMMdd formatted in Classic ASP.
Sorry, I thought @ is required in Classic asp side as well. It seems not. It is required in ADO.NET.
