>>ewwwww access... This has nothing to do with Access. The problem is that formated dates should not be used in SQL, only CF date values (which are automatically converted t ODBCdates by default), or better use ODCDates. Secondly, quotes should nor be used with dates in SQL
This should work: <CFSET thirdletterdate = DateAdd("d", -7, get.expiration)> <cfquery name="Getnow" datasource="trials"> Select * from trials_info where expiration eq #CreateODBCDate(thirdletterdate)# order by expiration desc </cfquery> This should work, provided expiration has been entered using CreateDBCDate. If it was entered with a time value different from 00:00:00, the equality won't work. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Deploy Web Applications Quickly across the enterprise with ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
