query problem

i have a msde 2000 database, and one of the field are filled by datetime with the format "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss".
I make a query like this:
"select * from mytable where myfield like '%2006-06-15%'"
but i didn't get any record for the result and i have make it sure that there are lot of records with that value in myfield. The main problem is the char "-" that separate the date value, becouse if i make a query :
"select * from mytable" then i get all of my records.
Is there any suggest to solf my problem?why u want a like clause on a date time field.

Instead try myfield >= '2006-06-15' and myfield < '2006-06-16'|||Is your date field a datetime datatype, or is it a string?|||Your date is actually formatted more like 0x000097E2008BE35B even though SQL Server displays it as 2006-06-16 13:29 when it returns a value to the client machine. You can use string patterns on it, and SQL Server will happily convert for you, but it isn't efficient and worse yet it isn't always predictable.

The suggested syntax that Ronin gave is both efficient and predictable.
