Ron,

<< OK, error found. Apparently the database date fields on the server were
ftDate but on the client ftDateTime...

I always thought that ftDate was just a subset of ftDateTime, apparently it
is not. >>

The streaming in DBISAM is fairly picking about matching types because they
are different binary image sizes (8 for ftDateTime and 4 for ftDate or
ftTime).
