Hey everyone, i cannot issue this statement no matter how hard i try

SELECT 43-sum(Persons) as Total FROM Bookings WHERE Date < 01/01/2004

but if i do something like this, it works

SELECT 43-sum(Persons) as Total FROM Bookings WHERE Persons < 2


what am i doing wrong, i have put quotes, apostrophes, and everything around the date 01/01/2004 but it still returns nothing!

why is this???

If you are using Access you need to surround the date with the number sign '#'
