Can anyone see what I am doing wrong? If I use the convert statement in the select 
clause instead of the where clause it works but I need to convert from the where 
clause against my criteria.

Subject: SQL DATE CONVERSION QUESTION


I am trying to query on a field that is a varchar(255) but has date information. 

I get the following error:
Server: Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Syntax error converting datetime from character string.

My query:
select personid
from persondemographic 
where  convert(datetime,substring(demographicvaluedesc,1,11),101)> '06/30/2003'
and demographicgroupid =4
and demographicitemid = 4
and demographicvaluedesc is not null
