| You can use CONVERT with a style to get rid of the time. However, this type of formatting should be done at the presentation layer and not in T-SQL. It should only be done in T-SQL if you are formatting the data for a file.SELECT CONVERT(varchar(10), GETDATE(), 101)Tara Kizeraka tduggan |

| Select date without conversion. In your Front end application, use the format like format(date,"mm/dd/yyyy"). Also if you are using Oracle and not SQL Server, then post your question at DBforums.comMadhivananFailing to plan is Planning to fail |
