Hi, I am working on a mod and for some reason I can't seem to get the Event_date to match the variable even though they "appear" to look identical.  Is there something specific I need to add to my query to get 4/10/2007 in the database to match 4/10/2007 in my variable?
 
strsql = "SELECT "& strDbTable & "Topic.Event_date LIKE '" & strDate & "%' FROM " & strDbTable & "Topic ")

WHERE (" & strDbTable & "Topic.Event_date = " & strDate &
 
Is there something specifal about the colum Event_date in WebWiz that is preventing me from doing an easy variable to database value comparison?

Could you use the Now() event to get the current date?

Have you converted strDate into international format? There's a function in one of the WWF files (functions_date_time_format.asp) to do this for you.

Depending on which database type you use depends on how the SQL needs to be formatted for dates, for example Access has # marks surrounding dates.
