if I have an existing table with a date field set as "text" (Apr1) can that be changed to a "date/time" field
Reply from Richard Rost:
As long as all of the values in that text field conform to a valid date/time format (like 2:00 PM) then you should be able to switch it just fine. Any data that does NOT conform will be lost. "Apr1" is not a valid date format.
