0	Refine your table structure as create table show_bus ( id int identity, from_p varchar(100), to_p varchar(100), timin varchar(10) ) Alter time datatype with varchar then it will insert. Raghuldrag, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

0	For presentation purpose only AM, PM is required... Better to use proper data types for storing datetime values... If you use VARCHAR(10) it may cause problem in future. Any one can enter different formats of time values such as 01:00 AM, 01.11 Am, 1 AM, 1.00 AM For suppose if you wish to get date and time from two fields DATEColumn and TimeColumn you will definitely get errors in future... if you use DATETIME type to store time values.... --sample code DECLARE @foo TABLE ( dt DATETIME ) INSERT @foo(dt) VALUES('20011031') INSERT @foo(dt) VALUES('3:25 PM') SELECT RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(20), dt, 100), 7), dt FROM @foo --Results ------- 12:00AM 3:25PM Mark This Response as Answer -- Chandu http://www.dotnetfunda.com/images/dnfmvp.gif Raghuldrag, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

For suppose if you wish to get date and time from two fields DATEColumn and TimeColumn
you will definitely get errors in future...

if you use DATETIME type to store time values....

--sample code

DECLARE @foo TABLE
( 
    dt DATETIME 
) 

 
INSERT @foo(dt) VALUES('20011031') 
INSERT @foo(dt) VALUES('3:25 PM') 
 
SELECT RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR(20), dt, 100), 7), dt FROM @foo 

--Results
-------
12:00AM
 3:25PM
