Why not just one WHERE clause without the commas? It would still catch any item within the delimited list:
emaildates like '%#todaysDate#%' That would catch any of the dates -----Original Message----- From: Damien McKenna [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 05, 2007 9:22 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: OT: Easy SQL Question On 1/5/07 9:01 AM, Che Vilnonis wrote: <cfquery name="getScheduledEmails" datasource="#DSN#"> SELECT esid, emailtype, emaildates, filterdomains, emailsubject, emailbody, timessent FROM EmailScheduler WHERE emaildates like '%,#todaysDate#,%' or emaildates like '#todaysDate#,%' or emaildates like '%,#todaysDate#' ORDER BY esid </cfquery> Because you don't have commas on both sides of each date you have to search for entries that don't have a comma on one side or the other, hence three WHERE clauses. -- Damien McKenna - Web Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Limu Company - http://www.thelimucompany.com/ - 407-804-1014 #include <stdjoke.h> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
