Problems combining a date and a character time field

I'm having problems combining a Date field with a Time which is stored in a varchar2(10) field to make an integrated Date field. I've tried things like TO_CHAR(date_field,'DD-MMM-YYY') || Time_fld which looks alright in a 'SELECT' but refuses to INSERT INTO a Date field.

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

TIA Barry
