Simple, quick and works for all dates tested. Select Top 1 * ; from oFipsCodes ; where ; ccode = lcFips And ; !EMPTY(dbgdate) AND ; dbgdate <= ldDate ; order By dbgdate Descending scatter name oFipsCodes nTaxRate = oFipsCodes.nTax This is useful since many counties in California are increasing their sales taxes on 4/1. This allows us to enter the new tax rate now and have it automatically apply for transactions beginning with 4/1. ----- Original Message ----- From: Stephen Russell To: ProFox Email List Sent: Thursday, March 12, 2009 12:09 PM Subject: Re: VFP9 SP1 question for sql guru On Thu, Mar 12, 2009 at 1:58 PM, KAM.covad <a_gmail_nos...@kenmcginnis.com> wrote: > I have a table with a date field: dDate and thousands of records. > > The dates are scattered over time including the future.
