I've been going round in circles here trying to get this to work and my
ignorance of ASP is now showing me up.
I want to construct a query string to allow me to filter entries to be
displayed on a web page with respect to the date-entry contained in the
database.
i.e. an archived results page will show all entries where "my_date" is
less than 'todays date'
I have tried to do this by;
Dim strSQL
Dim showdate
showdate = Date
then...
strSQL = "Select * FROM my_database WHERE my_date <" & showdate
Although this does give a result, it has no actual bearing on todays
date and wondered what strinkingly obvious this I'm doing wrong? when I
use i get all results displayed, when i use < I get none at all.
thanks for any help 6 1694

I don't know if it makes any difference but I have the database field
set to date/time, and "short Date" and am using a
<%session.lcid=1046%on the results page ( I know this is really for
Portugal but the 2057 for UK never displays as UK date format should,
not for me anyway.)
The Access database can be written to and read from happily and
displays the date correctly. I just dont seem to be able to work out
how to filter with respect to todays date.

Format the date accordingly then, YYYY-MM-DD. See here: http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2023
Sample:
Function dtForAccess(d)
dtForAccess = Year(d) & "-" & Right("0" & Month(d), 2) & "-" & Right("0"
& Day(d), 2)
End Function

If you want today's date, then use the Date() function:
strSQL = "... WHERE my_date < Date"
