So, the suggestion given by Borislav works very well (below) for SQL Server database)
dToday = date()
cWhereExpr = ['] + DTOS( cToday ) [' >=DATEADD(year, Years, PurchDate) ]
select * from MyTable where cWhereExpr
How would I change the above for VFP database? Does VFP have function similar to the SQL Server's DATEADD()?
