Hi, Using PHP? If so, this works quite nicely if you pass your dates as unix timestamps:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE (FROM_UNIXTIME($theMaxTime) > col AND FROM_UNIXTIME($theMinTime) < col) In other words, "col" needs to be between $theMinTime and $theMaxTime as in $theMinTime < col < $theMaxTime. Is that what you need? It works the same way if you don't use timestamps, by the way. timestamps are just more convenient ;) ----------------------- Alain Fontaine Consultant & Developer VAlain S.A.
