Hello,
I am trying to create a view in MS SQL Server 2000 with "DeliveryDate" field which data type is an Integer Float in this format: "YYYYMMDD".

Does anyone know how I can Convert this field to a Date data type?

You should post this question in the SQL Server forum rather than the Access Queries forum. Here is one way to convert a numeric value to a datetime value. It involves converting the numeric to string or character data and then to datetime.

convert(datetime, str(<floatval>)) Terry L. Broadbent
