I have a timestamp field that I want to have updated with a date field and hivals for the time portion of the timestamp.

I know you already have a solution Andy, but for future reference here's another way:

MyTimestampField = myDateField + HIVAL_TIME

where HIVAL_TIME is a named constant for t'23.59.59' or t'24.00.00' or whichever time is appropriate for your needs.

HTH,
