Karen, I'm aware that my 30-days-ago version of the query is current time/ date specific. Good catch :-)
Thanks for the solution. I also found this one: today = datetime.datetime.today() Document.objects.filter(created_on__month=today.month, created_on__day=today.day, created_on__year=today.year) Thanks again.
