datetime Data Type

I am trying to insert dates and times into a SQL database using a small ASP
application I have just written to test it.
The dates are being passed in format: dd/mm/yyyy, and the times in format:
hh:mm:ss
However, when I set the fields as datatype datetime, it fails saying:
The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an
out-of-range datetime value.
What am I doing wrong? If I change the datatype of the field to char it
works fine, but I wanted them as datetime.
What do I need to change?
ThanksIf you want to that format, you need to have proper SET DATEFORMAT setting.
I suggest you read below article, and use a language neutral format.
