I have 2 date fields that I want to concantenate to print as:

1/1/2010 to 2/2/2010. I have this code:

k.startdate+'to'+k.enddate as date

but get this error: Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 6
Syntax error converting datetime from character string.

What am I not doing?

Thanks!

 
You need to convert each of the dates to a string first.

Convert(VarChar(10), K.StartDate, 101) + ' to ' + Convert(VarChar(10), K.EndDate, 101)

Code:
CONVERT(VARCHAR(20), k.startdate, 101) +'to'+ CONVERT(VARCHAR(20), k.enddate, 101) as date
