| I installed SQL Server Express edition on my computer. My computer had Regional settings for Australia since I am from Australia. Now, I copied my database from my development computer to my computer. I also deployed my front-end for the database which I have developed in .NET 2.0. Now, when I run a query on the database through my application, it doesn't accept the Date as it should. Also, I tried to run that in query editor, but it still takes the date format wrong. Like when I saySelect * from DataTable where DOB='9/3/1980',ideally it should return me the data for ppl whose bdate is 9 March 1980. But it returns me data for ppl whose birthdate is 3 September 1980.I changed my computer's regional settings to Autralia, Uninstalled SQL Server express and then installed again. But it has got the same problem. Any ideas?Ujjaval |

you should try to specify date in universal format. Rather than MMDDYYYY or DDMMYYYY as it is ambiguousSelect * from DataTable where DOB='19800309' You can also use set dateformat DDMMYYYY dmy to specify the format but it is advisable to use universal format.EDIT : in red

| SET DATEFORMAT dmySelect * from DataTable where DOB='9/3/1980'It's always a good practice to use ISO format, yyyymmdd, when uncertain.Peter LarssonHelsingborg, Sweden |
