SQL Server can't control how your application displays a DATETIME. You need to use the facilities of your client application or programming environment to format the date correctly for display. The other option would be to convert the date to a string (see CONVERT in Books Online) but that's not usually a very desirable or convenient way to handle dates. -- David Portas, SQL Server MVP Whenever possible please post enough code to reproduce your problem. Including CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements usually helps. State what version of SQL Server you are using and specify the content of any error messages.
