make sure that your table column's data type should be in datetime and not varchar or char.

while retrieving (select) from your table, just use

select datecol from yourtable


it will return the date in datetime. If you want to format it in DD/MM/YYYY, you should do it in your VB front end.
You can also do it in SQL (using convert() function) but it is not advisable.
