if you want it to save as date without time then it means you will have to specify that on your call for the DatetimePicker value. Example: Dim mydate as date = datetimepicker1.value.date If u say Datetimepicker1.value without ".date" at the end it will give you both the date and time. Again, if you want to exclude the Date and get the time alone you will have to assign DatetimePicker1.value.timeofday to whatever you want the return value Hope That Works
