I have written a vb app that selects data in an Oracle table and writes it to a table in SQL Server. Why? Well, cause someone said it has to be done! Anyways, the Oracle table has a field TRANSDATE type Numeric. It has values in it like 96754.00192837 The SQL Server has a field TDATEHIST type Date/Time.

When I look at the TDATEHIST field in SQL Server the date is 2 days greater than the value in Oracle.

Using a 3rd party proprietary app I can see the transactions and they have a date of 3/26/01. After my SQL Server insert, the date is 3/28/01.

I know I could subtract 2 but don't know if this is true for all dates.. has anyone came across this?

Changing the field type in Oracle is not an option.

Thanks
