Hi,

When i execute the below statements i am not getting the result.

DECLARE @MonthDate DATETIME
SELECT @MonthDate = '01/31/2009'

SELECT * FROM TABLENAME
WHERE CONVERT(VARCHAR(16), Startdate, 101) <= CONVERT(VARCHAR(16), @MonthDate, 101)

In my table All startdates are less than '01/31/2009'.

DECLARE @MonthDate DATETIME
SELECT @MonthDate = '01/31/2009'

SELECT * FROM TABLENAME 
WHERE  Startdate <=  @MonthDate

It works perfectly.

Thanks for the solution.

Now take time to LEARN why it worked.
A hint is "string sorting".

E 12°55'05.63"
