| You should be doing formatting in front end of your application. Its best SQL practise not to do any kind of formatting in T-SQL. T-SQL should be used for returning queried data. |

| I'm not sure how you want to use it in this context, but this is how it's done with the current datetime:select cast(convert(varchar(10), getdate(), 121) as datetime)Duane. |

| select cast(convert(varchar(10), getdate(), 121) as datetime) will still give time though it will be 00:00:00.000 like 2008-01-22 00:00:00.000. Its better you format your date with any format function available to you in front end. |

[code]IF @DateCreated IS NOT NULL AND @DateCreated > '19000101' SELECT @SQL = @SQL + ' AND DateCreated >= ' + CONVERT(CHAR(10), @DateCreated, 112), @SQL = @SQL + ' AND DateCreated < ' + CONVERT(CHAR(10), DATEADD(DAY, 1, @DateCreated), 112)[/code]
