Changing the design from char to datetime

I accidently put char instead of datetime in the Sql Server DateCreateddataType. Is there any way that now I can change. I guess even if Ichange I cannot get the time and date in a format that I want sincethey are in Char datatype.

you can change it in the design view or use the ALTER Table commandfrom thw Query analyzer. You can still change the datatype and be ableto use the datetime functions.
|||The problem is that the data in those fields have already been entered.And when I change it is not complient with the old data.
