Hello,
Does the field in the report server have to be a DATETIME field? Could you use a character string that looked like a date field?

For example
SQL statement Will give the following output
Select Convert(Varchar, GETDATE(), 9) -- Jan 17 2011 2:16:12:740PM
Select Convert(Varchar, GETDATE(), 13) -- 17 Jan 2011 14:16:48:657
Select Convert(Varchar, GETDATE(), 109) -- Jan 17 2011 2:17:46:950PM
Select Convert(Varchar, GETDATE(), 113) -- 17 Jan 2011 14:18:04:083

According to my understanding you dun want time to be displayed with date
you can try this

select convert(varchar(12),getdate())

It will gave you date with format:
Jan 28 2011
