Answer : Dateformat in SQL SERVER 2005

Hi,
To answer your original question:

Dim strMyDate As String
strMyDate = Format(DateTime.ParseExact("11-21-2005", "MM-dd-yyyy", _
Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture), "yyyy-MM-dd")

This will convert from MM-dd-yyyy to yyyy-MM-dd

To apply to your code, just replace the example date "11-21-2005" with frmmain.txtdate.Text and SQL to be like:

   strsql = "Insert into " & frmmain.txttablename.Text & "( refno," & frmmain.txtdate.Text & ")VALUES(@refno, '" & strMyDate & "')"

I am not sure about your SQL, but make sure date goes like '2005-11-21' - (within apostrophes - as I can remember).

Hope this will help, Good luck.
