Yep, just to confirm, Sjoerd is right....
Tho i would just live with the date part.... and put a mask on it so the user doesnt see it.

you can create a updateable view onto the table and refer the view in the subsequent operations. dont forget to add indices on the view.
the column in concern e.g myDate can be masked as
cast(
cast( month(mydate) as varchar )
+ '/'
+ cast( day(mydate) as varchar )
+ '/'
+ cast( year(mydate) as varchar )
as varchar )
correct me if I am wrong..
ohhhh
i need to take a nap...
it should have been like
select cast(
cast( datepart(hh,@mydate) as varchar )
+ ':'
+ cast( datepart(mi,@mydate) as varchar )
+ ':'
+ cast( datepart(ss,@mydate) as varchar )
as varchar )
or
select cast(
cast( datepart(hh,@mydate) as varchar )
+ ':'
+ cast( datepart(mi,@mydate) as varchar )
as varchar )

There's no way around that. You can either live with this (and ignore the date part), or store time in a different way (I always do "number of minutes since midnight").
