SYMPTOMS
One of the following errors occurs when passing a date to a SQL Stored Procedure:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error 80004005 At least one parameter contained a type that was not supported.

-OR-

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error 80040e21 Driver not capable.



CAUSE
The data type of the parameter being passed to the stored procedure does not match the data type the stored procedure is expecting. For example, passing a value of "7/21/97" to a stored procedure that is expecting DateTime data will cause the error.



RESOLUTION
Make sure the data type you are passing to the stored procedure is of the same type as the stored procedure is expecting. Using Visual InterDev's Data Command control to create the Active Server Pages (ASP) code to call your stored procedure will ensure the parameter is of the correct type.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior
 Create or open a Visual InterDev project. Add a data connection to the "Pubs" database on your SQL server. From the Data View tab, right-click the Stored Procedures folder for the "Pubs" database and choose "New Stored Procedure" from the context menu.  Copy/paste the code between the "===" lines below into the new stored procedure. ========new stored procedure code========== CREATE PROCEDURE sp_custom_sel @custdate datetime

AS

SELECT * FROM employee WHERE employee.hire_date=@custdate

===========================================                    Create a new ASP file in the project.</li>  Copy/paste the code below ======ASP file to call stored procedure=================== <%@ LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %>
