achive a distinct with convert involved

And is it not working? You need a space between ")" and "desc"

has it

tsm

and...

any way to achive it?

do not work

You get any error?

Cuando se especifica SELECT DISTINCT, los elementos de ORDER BY deben aparecer en la lista de selección.

when an select distinct is specified, the elements of the order by must appear in the list

any advice?

Try

select distinct Convert(Datetime, fechap, 103) from cheque  order by Convert(Datetime, fechap, 103) desc

edo60,

While most of us here have a lot of knowledge with SQL Server, none of us (to my knowledge) can read a crystal ball, so it is in your best interest to explain fully what you need as we are not sitting in front of your computer.  Quite frankly, stating "do not work" is no use whatsoever.  Just imagine taking your car to the mechanic telling them "do not work" and I suspect you should understand.

For clarity here is the same in Spanish:
Mientras hay muchos aquí que son muy capaces usando SQL Server, nadie (de que yo sepa) somos magos, por lo tanto por tu bien te conviene explicar completamente tus requerimientos ya que no estamos enfrente de tu computadora (ordenador).  Francamente diciendo "no funciona" no ayuda en lo más mínimo.  Imagina que lleves tu auto al mecánico y le dices" "no funciona" y creo que comprenderás.

Ok, im understand what you say, sorry for the language barrear, but you give me greate solution with

SELECT      DISTINCT
        CONVERT(Datetime, c.fechap, 103) fechap
FROM    cheque c
ORDER BY
      fechap DESC

it give me the result that i want, only i detail, is any way to put off the time?
the result is:

2013-01-04 00:00:00.000
2013-01-03 00:00:00.000
2013-01-02 00:00:00.000
2012-12-21 00:00:00.000
2012-12-19 00:00:00.000
2012-12-18 00:00:00.000
2012-12-13 00:00:00.000
2012-12-11 00:00:00.000

is the order that i need but is posible to put off 00:00:00.000?

If you have SQL Server 2008 you can do this:
CONVERT(Date, c.fechap, 103) fechap

If not you can do this (just understand that it is now character data):
CONVERT(char(10), CONVERT(Datetime, c.fechap, 103), 120) fechap
