That's the clincer. The resulting DATE column is actually the format of the equation as well.
I've attached a view of the results from the working SQL statement that does not perform the WHERE. "WHERE Format$(Date, 'yyyy-mm-dd') < sDateTemp" does not work. Also, as stated in my previous post, I have sDateTemp formatted in the same format as that which is in the table. That's why I'm puzzled.
