Hello,

I need help with the following. I'm not a programmer, but need to fix
one thing. Can soeone tell me what's wrong with the following?

"SELECT * FROM TblEvents WHERE DATEDIFF('d', fldDateArchive, now()) <
0 & DATEDIFF('d', fldDatePublish, now()) > 0 ORDER BY fldDateEvent
ASC"

The idea is to publish only the events where the archive date isn't
due yet and where the publishdate is past (> 0).

Thanks!
 
Perhaps something like this:

SELECT TblEvents*
FROM TblEvents
WHERE ((fldDateArchive >= Date())
AND (publishDate < Date()))
ORDER BY fldDateEvent;

That will require only one call to get today's date for the whole query,
instead of 2 DateDiff() calls for every record.
