You can return the date as a string (varchar) in whatever date format you like by adding a 'style' to the CONVERT statement. Exmaples of style values are (two left hand columns):
1 101 USA mm/dd/yy
2 102 ANSI yy.mm.dd
3 103 British/French dd/mm/yy
4 104 German dd.mm.yy
5 105 Italian dd-mm-yy
6 106 - dd mon yy

The three-digit styles give you four-figure year values. Look up 'CAST and CONVERT' in SQL Server books for more configurations
