Convert Access 2003 Function

I am converting an Access DB to SQL2000 and opne of the queries uses the
Format$ function. How should the syntax be for SQL?
Access: Format$(TimeTrackerEntry.EntryDate,'yyyymm') AS EntryMonthUse the CONVERT function with an optional date style argument. See the
following for syntax, samples and date arguments.

correct syntax. It's a bit confusing for me.

and it worked with no problems. Thanks much Jerry. I also understand the
function better now that I have the correct syntax.
