You could try something like SELECT DATE, DATE_FORMAT(DATE, '%M %D, %Y') AS DATE2, Title, Links, Summary FROM news WHERE TO_DAYS(NOW()) - TO_DAYS(DATE) <=5 ORDER BY DATE DESC > Another problem I am having with another statement.

Date_format(NULL, '%M %D, %Y') should return "00 00, 00", iirc, and thus is not NULL even if your date column is. SELECT DOB, DATE_FORMAT(DOB, '%M %D, %Y') as DOB2, Fname, Lname, Email FROM emply_info WHERE (TO_DAYS(DOB) - TO_DAYS(NOW())) <=5 AND (TO_DAYS(DOB) >= TO_DAYS(NOW())) and Tdate is NULL and DOB is not null ORDER BY DOB, Lname > Any clue why my SQL statement worked once are now not working? > > Thanks a head of time. > > Chuck Payne > Magi Design and Support HTH, Chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
