Jim, You are welcome.. If you are going to use that qualification in some workflow or if you think your users will be running that query often, do not forget to create an index on the field 'Target Date'. Or it could cause performance problems on that search in the long run.

Also please make sure you have an index on 'Target Date' if you are going to run this kind of a search else when your record count reaches are few hundred thousands, you won't have too much fun waiting for the results of that search..

So time date field (target date) - 60*60*24 < target date. I am hoping this shows me what is going to escalate or exceed target tommorow. Thanks, Jim No virus found in this outgoing message.
