Errors when in Month view and how do I show (highlight) the day selected?

Question

There are some annoying 'bugs' in my ical. When I are working in month view and I select a day in that month to copy or enter an item to there is no indication that ical has that day selected. When I paste some data to that day thinking I have it selected it, it may be in the correct day or in the previously selected day - surely this is an oversight on Apples part or am I missing something here?
Also sometimes after pasting data to the correct day iCal will 'update' and then send the data back to the day I copied it from!!
Any help appreciated.

Hi,
You don't need to convert to a string and back again to do that.  Use TRUNC to get the right day, and date arithmetic to get the right time, like this:
UPDATE  fc_gq_source_analysis
SET     effective_date = TRUNC (sample_date, 'MONTH')
                             + (sample_date - TRUNC (sample_date))
WHERE   sample_type  = 'C'
TRUNC (sample_date, 'MONTH')        is midnight on the 1st of the month that you want.
sample_date - TRUNC (sample_date)   is the time that you want, expressed as a number of days (e.g., 9/24 of a day).
