Setting default date value

I need to set a default value into a timestamp field. This does not work:
If IsNull(lnk_PassMbrId.END_DT) Then StringToTimestamp('9999-12-31 00:00:00',"%yyyy-%mm-%dd HH:MM:SS") Else lnk_PassMbrId.END_DT
Any idea on what gets it to work?
Thanks.

Your time format is not correct. Put the following in the format mask

Nope. I tried that too.
If IsNull(lnk_PassMbrId.END_DT) Then StringToTimestamp('9999-12-31 00:00:00',"%yyyy-%mm-%dd %hh:%nn:%ss") Else lnk_PassMbrId.END_DT

What is the error that you got when you applied my method? Are you sure that your incoming empty column is infact NULL and not an empty space?

I fixed it by renaming the field coming in and it worked. That is so weird that I can't even understand how it works now.
