>Yes, that works fine. Certainly, it's simpler than what I had contrived. I guess the reason I didn't go for this more direct approach to start with was because I had originally needed to query the last 31 days of data from any point in time when the query was run so I had tried: WHERE DATE()-31. I soon found out that my ODBC/MS SQL 6.5 connection didn't support this fucntion and tried using GETDATE()-31, instead and that's were my odyssey began. When this didn't "pan out" I started looking at DATEPART and, eventually, the CONVERT function. Later, when I moved to another query that involved fixed dates, I failed to try the simplist approach.

But can you use parameters for WHERE?
Something like:
WHERE Pickdetail.editdate >= ?m.tBeginDT AND Pickdetail.editdate < ?m.tEndDT
Then in your form:
tBeginDT = DTOT(DATE())
tEndDT = DTOT(DATE()-31)
