I'm dealing with "all-day" appointments in a third-party scheduler control. Setting the start time of an appointment to 12:00:00 and the end time very close to midnight of the same day, I find that the smalldatetime in the database is rounded. This causes weird display of the appointments in the control. This is not a forum in which to solve this particular problem, but perhaps a place to mention that there are situations in which the rounding of smalldatetimes can be an issue.

Thanks! However, one little nitpick, just to avoid confusion for everyone: you mentioned that a SQL DateTime's maximum value is 31st December 1999, but it's really 31st December 9999.
