| You can't is the simple answer, use datetime and just display the date whenever needed, or save the date without the time part - select dateadd(dd,0,datediff(dd,0,getdate())). |

Do you really need to strip off time part while saving. I think you should be concerned about this only while retrieving from the table, which you can always do as Rick suggested and use date alone for viewing or for calculations. |
