Hi,

I've the following issue. How can you format the time function to an integer ? I'm using the following code for this, --select datepart(m,getdate())--.
If the time is 14:09:45 then it gives back '9'. I must have the '09'.
With command can you use ?

Thx

Where do you want to show the data?
Use Front End application to format it to the way you want

[code]
select substring(convert(varchar(8), getdate(), 108), 4, 2),
right(convert(varchar(5), getdate(), 108), 2)
[/code]

btw, an integer would just be 9, as 09 it would be a char..
