Hi there, Well I have a strange problem. I'm Using Access 2000 DB and i'm connected through ODBC Drivers in MFC using CRecordset. I have a Table with a field of type Date/Time in Access 2000 DB , which the CRecordset uses : RFX_Date(pFX, _T("[FirstInstallDate]"), m_FirstInstallDate); (to exchange data between the Recordset itself and the Database.) all i do before this is : rsRecSet.m_FirstInstallDate = CTime::GetCurrentTime(); and the definition is : CTime m_FirstInstallDate; Everytime i get to this line i have a notification in DEBUG MODE : Microsoft Visual C++ : Unhandled exception in MyApp.exe (MFC42D.DLL): 0xC0000005: Access Violation. and the App. is stuck and i can't go on .... but the record is written and in a right way ... ???? and when i run the same App. in RELEASE MODE it Closes with Abotion Message. Does somone have any idea ???? Thanks alot, Ariel.
