DateTime string insert into sql datetime column fails

Iam trying to write to a DateTime field in MSSQL from wonderware
intouch. The problem is that I keep getting the error that the string
I'm using is not a valid datetime string....has anybody experienced
this and what was the workaround?
Thanks

I have tried various combinations including the recommended on that
site ie '02/23/1998 14:23:05'
Still no joy. I wonder if this is a wonderware sqlinsert problem...|||> I have tried various combinations including the recommended on that

That's not recommended, it will fail if, for example, your dateformat is
dmy.
What does "no joy" mean? Does it fail? With what error? Did you try a
safe standard format like
'19980223 14:23:05'
?|||OK I found out what the problem is. If you use a SQLInsertprepare and
SQLInsertexecute it fails no matter what format you use.
Used SQLConnect, SQLInsert and SQLDisconnect and it works great!
Thanks for the help Tiborsql
