Doh! Still thinking of some features in D5 mode.
Colin's method is much cleaner.
Sorry 'bout the confusion.

Subject: RE: <lingo-l> Verifying a date object falls between a certain
date range
If you need to evaluate for a more specific date
(Say you want to expire something on a given date)
You can use a piece of Lingo like this to break out
each element of your date object and then evaluate
against it.
on checkDate me
mOldDelimiter = the itemdelimiter
mDelimiter = "/"
the itemdelimiter = mDelimiter
-- the date you need to evaluate
tDay = 5
tMonth = 6
tYear = 00
-- get current date
mDate = the date
-- break it out
mMonth = item 1 of mDate
mDay = item 2 of mDate
mYear = item 3 of mDate
-- after the above you can evaluate as desired
if mDay = value(tDay) then
put "Expired !"
end if
-- set the delimiter back to default
the itemDelimiter = mOldDelimiter
end

Just test with < and >:
put the systemdate < date(2001,6,7) and the systemdate > date(2001,6,5)
-- 0
Tomorrow this would return a 1.
