Hi, all!

Got an FM Enrollments table that I'm copying to a MySQL clone of the same. External data source and ODBC driver work great.

Am using a script to copy the contents of the FM record into variables, then creating a new MySQL record and performing Set Field commands with the variables to populate the fields.

Unfortunately, the dates are not making the jump. For example:

On the FM side is a field called EnrollmentDate (type Date).

On the MySQL side is a field called Enrollment_Date (type DATE).


Got a custom function that is SUPPOSED to convert an FM date to a MySQL date. It is as follows:

/* Returns a MySQL Date from a FileMaker Date */

Year( GetAsDate( FM_Date )) & "-" &

If( Month( GetAsDate( FM_Date ) ) < 10;
"0" & Month( GetAsDate ( FM_Date ));
Month( GetAsDate ( FM_Date ))
) & "-" &

If( Day( GetAsDate( FM_Date ) ) < 10;
"0" & Day( GetAsDate( FM_Date ));
Day( GetAsDate( FM_Date ))
) & "00:00:00"



I've tried this function also without the 00:00:00 portion at the end and it still doesn't work.

The calc field that invokes this function outputs TEXT.

Any ideas about what the heck I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks!

Steve
