I would like to set the format of a datetime datatype to day/month/year, does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks for your help.

Convert it to a varchar type, format 101. Replace dtFld with the applicable column name:
Code: 
        select convert(varchar, dtFld, 101)

Yes... use convert...

Tom, it will be you if you open books-online and index on Convert. The description for this function lists all of the various styles (i.e., 101) that allow you to manipulate for dates...
