<div>I just tried the same query without parameter binding and it worked
OK.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So I guess my question now is how to insert into a date field using
parameter binding?</div>

<div>Hello everyone,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I’m trying to insert a record and one of the fields is a date field.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I get the following error message:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Date Value “10/12/2013” is invalid. Illegal symbol at “-1” position."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Would anyone happen to have any pointers for inserting dates?</div>
<div>I’m guessing the field is in the wrong format but the format for</div>
<div>the database is set to “MMDDYYYY” and the separator is “/”.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I’m using .net and parameter binding.</div>
<div> </div>
