I tried to reproduce the problem with a simple script and worked
really good (mssql 2008 with 7.3 protocol) then I tried with a former
protocol (from 7.0 to 7.2) and server say the column is a NVARCHAR,
then freebcp (correctly) try to send a string to server. The strange
thing is that my server converted the "26-Jun-2000" to 1900-06-01 !!!
I looked at log and server just accept the string and insert that
strange value. Can you check which protocol version are you using?
