Don't use getYear(), use getFullYear().
getFullYear() is not supported by very old browsers, you may need to
account for them or at least fail gracefully.
getYear is defined as the current year minus 1900. Why such a value was
thought more useful than the real year is a mystery, but eventually
reason prevailed (no doubt assisted by Y2K issues) and getFullYear was
introduced.
However, some browser developers decided to make getYear report as if it
were getFullYear anyway, making confusion worse rather than better.

I have 3 tables; tblINBOX, tblOUTBOX and tblPENDING

I understand how to construct a query to return a count of the userID for
a date range for a single table. I'm stumped on how to get a single query
that will give me the count of the userID for a date range.

In Opera 9.2x, new Date.getYear() gives 108.
In Opera 9.50, new Date.getYear() gives 2008.
AIUI, IIRC, etc., ECMA & ISO/IEC require Year-1900.
9.2x was right, 9.50 agrees with IE 6 & 7.
Do we agree? Anything else interesting noticed?
