I have a time issue in a couple of our tables that we're looking to replicate

On the original Source it's labled as a Decimal 4,0 field but it somehow put's the colon " : " into the query

When I pull it into a replicated table it comes across as a 4 decimal field starting with 0 and stopping at 2359 (Military time is fine)

However because there is no : in the mix if I try and do a datediff with hours it subtracts by 100 instead of the minutes. Some of these are very large tables so I figured I'd see what the best suggestions were.

Which brings me to another issue.

We have another field or two that it tries to put in a date time when it's really just a date field so it throws 0:00:00 on to everything which doenst bother me but tends make the date to appear "0" when I export something to excel. On a table with a million plus rows what would be the best way to take it out with the least over head on a server and just leave a date ?

Can you post table DDL and sample input data?

Some of us may be having difficulty understanding what your problem is, thus the lack of interest to date.
