Hi all,

I posted this question in another forum with no response - so i'll try here.

Could someone please show me corect MSSQL string would be for all records up to and including today.

Something like ...strSQL = strSQL + "WHERE th.my_date < OR = Now()"

I have searched and tried many options but cannot get anything to work.

Help Please??

this depends on the database, the below is for MSSQL
 
strSQL = strSQL + "WHERE th.my_date < '" &  Now() &"' "
for access its this one below (not 100% sure if not try without the ' ', been ages since used access)
 
strSQL = strSQL + "WHERE th.my_date < '#" & Now() &"#' "

Not sure if Now() would work with SQL Server, but the following is taken from code I wrote yesterday to do the same thing:-

tblHostingService.Renewal_Date <= GetDate();

GetDate() is SQL Servers version of vbScripts Now()

This of course includes the time as well so isn't 100% accurate, there are other more precise methods but can't remember them off-hand.

Hi dj / Borg,

Thanks. GetDate() appears to work well with < GetDate() and <=GetDate().

Why doesn't it work with = GetDate() or > GetDate()?

In SQL no OR try <=
after that check the date format, you need to use cast or convert to change the date

convert(datetime,DateField ,103)

With SQL you can use BETWEEN eg:-

WHERE DBfield BETWEEN Date1 AND Date2

Replace DBfield with the name of the database field and Date1 and Date2 with the 2 dates
