i am trying to use a date range to query for records within that range. like

select b.hours, b.workdate from profile as a
inner join projecttime as b
on (b.profileemail = a.profileemail)
where b.profileemail = 'email@meail'
and b.workdate between '3/1/01' and '3/12/01'

the problem i run into is this. the date field is a varchar datatype and when i try the query it only gives me the record for:

hours workdate
8 3/1/01
8 3/12/01

however i KNOW i have a record for each day within that range. 3/2/01, 3/3/01..etc.
however it will not select these. help?

ps. i can not change the data type to a datetime one because of formatting issues in the past. a uniform date is now being used but i can not conver the old records.
