adDate parameter to stored proc.

Hi!
I am trying to pass a VBScript Date variable as value to an ADO adDate
parameter of a stored procedure (which runs in an SQL Server).
If I add the parameter like this:

oCmd.Parameters.Append oCmd.CreateParameter( "@p_Date", adDate,
adParamInput, , dParam)

where oCmd is of type ADODB.Command and dParam is a VBScript variable of
type Date
then when trying to execute the stored procedure I get the following error:

Optional feature not implemented

I was able to get round this by passing a string value in an adVarChar
parameter, but it would be easier and more readable with adDate and
Date-type variables. Is this latter possible?

Thx,
Agoston

You need to use adDBTimestamp, not adDate.

You might want to try out my stored procedure code generator available at
http://www.thrasherwebdesign.com/in....asp&c=&a=clear

If your procedure has no output parameters, and you are not interested in
retrieving the return parameter, you may want to consider using the
stored-procedure-as-connection-method technique instead of the explicit
Command object:
