But something like: CODE SELECT * FROM TBL WHERE DateField BETWEEN DATE("12-01-2002) AND DATE("12-31-2002") CODE SELECT * FROM TBL WHERE DateField1+10 > DateField2 You may have to look up date and time manipulation to ensure this is correct for your DB.. Good luck

So take what gregoryH said and put in your time. CODE SELECT * FROM TBL WHERE DateField BETWEEN DATE("12-01-2002 00:00:00") AND DATE("12-31-2002 23:59:59") which the above code would select information from 12-01-2002 begining of the day to 12-31-2002 end of day. which really is the whole month. Even though the datetime combination is nice when I know I am going to be sorting with dates I usally use like to seperate the date and time into their own fields. Just a suggestion I use.
