Greetings,

I am having the following problem on one of my web application deployment. The details of the deployment is as follows.

We have an application which is developed on ASP.Net and the development environment was on Windows 2000 professional.After the development,we tested the application on Windows 2000 Advanced server and it runs perfectly fine whiout raising any issue.

During the deployment, where the Web Application is delpoyed on Windows 2003 Server with IIS 6 and the datbase is on another Windows 2003 Server. Both servers are kept under a DMZ.

The application works perfectly fine for retrieving the information.While submitting any form which has a date field, system throws an error as shown below.

"The statement has been terminated,The conversion of a char data type to a datetime datatype resulted in an out of range datetime value"

Please help me to solve this issue.

Jeff

You are probably using character dates with format dd/mm/yyyy, mm/dd/yyyy, yyyy-mm-dd.
All of these can have region problems with sql server. If you use yyyymmdd then the problems will go away.

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

I have tested this application by loading on Windows 2000 server and the application runs smoothly without any error.

The application started raising the issues only after moving to the production server which is Windows 2003 Server. I kept the same configuration for both the servers.

Are the default language settings the same on both SQL servers

In EM right click Server >> properties >> server settings

I agree with Nigel - yyyymmdd gets rid of any ambiguity
