Question : MS SQL Server - The Conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range date time value

Our Windows 2000 server recently failed with a registry error. The company that manages our server was unable to fix the old server so they rebuilt it as a Windows 2003 Server, and reinstalled MS SQL Server 2000, and set up our database from a backup.

We have a custom built program for managing quotes that connects to the database, and it is now throwing an error with the date fields.

Here is an example of a query that is failing:
 
1:
2:
3:
4:
5:

SELECT     WSID, WSNO, ACTCO, ACTNAME, WSNAME, Owner, Updated, ApprovedBy  
FROM       Worksheet  
WHERE TABSEQ=0  
AND  Updated BETWEEN CAST('2006-01-01' AS datetime)  
AND CAST('2010-07-21' AS datetime)


We do not have the source code for this program so I can not modify the query.  The only option that I have is to somehow modify the SQL server so that it accepts the date time format.

Any suggestions on how to do this?

Thanks

Yeah, looks like they screwed up the language setting.

You could try modifying the existing logins using:

EXEC sp_defaultlanguage

to use ~"English U.S." rather than ~"English U.K."

that *might* do it.
