Is "date" the name of your field? Change it, it is a reserved word in SQL. > The report script complains the condition after WHERE clause.

Just use a plain BETWEEN predicate without functions: SELECT * FROM account WHERE date BETWEEN date1 AND date2 Jochem -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
