Change Date Format from mm/dd/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy

Hi,
I have a query to retrieve data from a table for the give two dates(from and
to) in a stored procedure.
select * from employees where (DateJoined BETWEEN @.FromDate AND @.ToDate)
now I have give the dates like this to get the results
@.FromDate =01/01/2005(mm/dd/yyyy)
@.ToDate=6/2/2005(mm/dd/yyyy)
but I would like to give the date in this format (dd/mm/yyyy) like
@.FromDate =01/01/2005(dd/mm/yyyy)
@.ToDate=2/6/2005(dd/mm/yyyy)
can someone help me with this(I know there is a way in which you can specify
in select query itself, but forgot :-) )
Thanks
KiranWhy do you need to express the date in a special format? Why not let the end
user use the format the
end user want (based on regional settings) and let the application send a fo
rmat to SQL server which
is language neutral?

Always use a portable date format in SQL... or else.
YYYYMMDD

YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.mmm
