You need to cast you DATEPART as a VARCHAR, here's another version that removes the time from a date:<br />
<br />
CAST(CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 101) AS SMALLDATETIME)<br />
<br />
This converts to a string and then back.

Thanks for the suggestion. &nbsp;That did remove the values for the time, but now it returns a value of 00:00:00 after the date. &nbsp;Is there a way to strip that out completely?
