Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how to retrieve the last day of the prior month in a specific format.

I know I can use:
select CONVERT(VARCHAR(11),dateadd(ms,-3,DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(mm,0, getdate() ), 0)))

This will give me the the last day of the prior month as "May 31 2008", however I need the format to be 05-31-2008, which is the 110 format. The DATEDIFF function won't allow me to simply add 110 after the getdate() function.

Can someone please help me??

Thanks!!
Dustin
