Ideally you should leave the formatting to the front end instead of pulling it from sql. If you look at BOL you will find many formats for convert to format datetime values.

Thanks so much it worked.

Just don't ever store that in a permanent table. You will learn to hate yourself if you do. 😉

--Jeff Moden

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
