This is really bugging me, I keep receiving this error: 'Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string.'

SET DATEFORMAT dmy
INSERT INTO Member
VALUES (1000019,'Evan','Bevan','7/1/1991 0:00:00','12 Green St.','Gold Coast','Queensland',4217,'(07)55734516',0413-111112,'75896C',8/7/2000 0:00:00,0,1,'aaaaas')
GO


This is how i've created the table. The first date is DOB, the second is join date in that order. I believe the error has something to do with 'DEFAULT GETDATE()'?

CREATE TABLE Member (
DOB DATETIME NOT NULL,
JoinDate DATETIME DEFAULT GETDATE(),

Also your values are not in same order as your column definition. in that case add an explicit column list in INSERT

INSERT INTO Member (Field1Name,Field2Name,...)
VALUES (1000019,'Evan','Bevan','7/1/1991 0:00:00','12 Green St.','Gold Coast','Queensland',4217,'(07)55734516',0413-111112,'75896C',8/7/2000 0:00:00,0,1,'aaaaas')
GO

Ah, thank you very much! I added a column list and it worked perfectly.
