the only issue i can see with the cast is that it is for 10 characters, the outcome of that cast requires 11 characters. could you try the below and see if it does what you require, as the conversion can output different formats depending on the integer you supply as the last parameter (e.g. 103,112, etc...)select convert(varchar(11), getdate(), 103)hope this helps  Nothing is truly idiot proof, because the world keeps producing a higher class of idiot |

| I don't think SQL CE supports VARCHAR. Try NVARCHAR instead. |
