Error with Table Field Accepting Date (1 Viewer)

[catbeasy]

I have some code which inserts data from a form into a table. The data inserts into the table fine.

However, upon inserting the date into the field exp_dt, even though the date is inserted into the table field, I still get another "error" table created. When I open the error table, it shows the exp_dt field and the issue is: Date out of Range..

The exp_dt was fixed at 12/31/9999 which I am to understand is the largest value excepted by microsoft. I tried changing it to 9998 and then 3000, but got the same results. Any ideas why this is occuring? Here is the code:

As mentioned, the code runs fine and it does populate the date with 12/31/9999 (or other date less than that) into the table, but I get the error table, which appears to be a contradiction..

Why are you using such an unqualified and illogical date?

Why are you using such an unqualified and illogical date?

Its the standard in our company. All of our datawarehouse tables use 12/31/9999 for expiration dates as a way to say there is no expiration date..

Not sure why that has anything to do with why I'm getting the error?
