Need Help ASAP! FoxPro to MSSQL 2000 Conversion question..

I am in the process of converting an old FoxPro 2.6 based DB to MSSQL 2000..

It appears that FoxPro 2.6 stores it's null value dates as 12:00:00 AM which is causing errors when importing the data into MSSQL 2000.

The format of all of the other dates is mm/dd/yyyy

Has anyone else encountered this? is there a filter, or a a script or switch somewhere to replace the NULL values with something that MSSQL is happier with?

..:: EDIT ::..

Looking @. the properties of the affected columns, it looks like they are set as smalldatetime, but if i switch them to datetime with a length of 8 it imports just fine.

So.. now my task is to update all of the columns from smalldatetime to datetime.

sugggestions?

Thanks in advance!
