Can't select a datetime field in a query without time portion

Hi,
I am doing some project with SQL Server 2000 and C#. I am using a
SELECT statement to get a column and to bind it to a dropdown list. The
column is a datetime format. I don't need time portion of it. Before I
tried any CONVERT functions my query looked like this:
SELECT DISTINCT DateEntered FROM TBL_PTM_Report
I can get the data this way but only with time portion in it. I read
about CONVERT but can't get it working. I am getting all kinds of error
messages from Visual Studio.
I tried the lowwoling:
SELECT COVVERT(CHAR(10), DateEntered, 101) FROM TBL_PTM_Report
It didn't work. I need data in the following format MM/DD/YYYY
Thank you,
Stan> SELECT COVVERT(CHAR(10), DateEntered, 101) FROM TBL_PTM_Report
CONVERT.

SELECT CONVERT(CHAR(10), DateEntered, 101) FROM TBL_PTM_Report|||I just ran this in query analyser and everything works! But Visual
Studio gives me an error.
