I have a high number of computers that at logon write some information
to a sql 2005 database. Information such as computer name, user name,
logon date and logon time are entered.

Because computers use different regional options, I notice that queries
to this database return inconsistent results due to different date
formatting. For example I see computers entering 1/3/2006 and 1/3/6 or
1/3/06.

How can I modify my query so that it reformats the date. This is my
current query I execute from within an ASP application:

RS.Open "Select * from PCLogs.dbo.logs WHERE Note = '" &
Request.Form("date") & "' ", dbConn, 1

The date is a variable that refers to a dd/mm/yyyy format. The date
column is of type text.

I'm a novice in SQL so any help would be greatly appreciated !
TIA and Regards
