Insert query crash(sql server), Date time format, server is not accepting

[seash]

H

when i execute this query, my query is crashing throwing an exception "cant convert char datatype to datetime type format

my query is "insert into mytable(mydate) values ('"+ varmydate+ "')

iam passing date format as dd/mm/yyyy
my system date is in format dd/mm/yyyy

is there any problem with sql server inaccepting the above format, or is there any way(universal) to send the datetime format to sql server

is there any system time conflict with sql server date time format

-------need help

If "varmydate" is really a string and doesn't represent an invalid date
(eg. '2/31/04')
this should be working for you.
