I struggled with the same problem  I have stored dates in SQL Server with format  YYYY-MM-DD HH NN SS  for about 20 years  but today that was not able anymore from a C  solution using OleDbCommand and a UPDATE query  The solution to my problem was to remove the hyphen - in the format  so the resulting formatting is now  YYYYMMDD HH MM SS   I have no idea why my previous formatting not works anymore  but I suspect there is something to do with some Windows updates for ADO

hope this may help you   SELECT  CAST LoginTime AS DATE           FROM    AuditTrail    If you want to have some filters over this datetime or it s different parts  you can use built-in functions such as Year and Month

Try ISDATE   function in SQL Server  If 1  select valid date  If 0 selects invalid dates   SELECT cast CONVERT varchar  LoginTime  101  as datetime    FROM AuditTrail  WHERE ISDATE LoginTime    1    Click here to view result   EDIT     As per your update i need to extract the date only and remove the time  then you could simply use the inner CONVERT  SELECT CONVERT VARCHAR  LoginTime  101  FROM AuditTrail    or  SELECT LEFT LoginTime 10  FROM AuditTrail   EDIT 2     The major reason for the error will be in your date in WHERE clause ie   SELECT cast CONVERT varchar  LoginTime  101  as datetime    FROM AuditTrail where CAST CONVERT VARCHAR  LoginTime  101  AS DATE   lt    CAST  06 18 2012  AS DATE    will be different from   SELECT cast CONVERT varchar  LoginTime  101  as datetime    FROM AuditTrail where CAST CONVERT VARCHAR  LoginTime  101  AS DATE   lt    CAST  18 06 2012  AS DATE    CONCLUSION  In EDIT 2 the first query tries to filter in mm dd yyyy format  while the second query tries to filter in dd mm yyyy format  Either of them will fail and throws error     The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted   in an out-of-range value    So please make sure to filter date either with mm dd yyyy or with dd mm yyyy format  whichever works in your db
