>The question mark before the Date2 parameter is perfectly acceptable. This is not where the problem is, provided the "date var" you are populated with a valid date value is Date2. The problem could be related to your mixinf the * with a column assignment statement in the SQL syntax. I don't think you are allowed to mix a "SELECT *..." with a column creation statement like ".T. as tFlag".

>You get the idea. Also, if you are not using *every* field in the result cursor, avoid using the "SELECT *..." approach. When you start dealing with larger record sets, select statements that grab all fields tend to be quite slow, as only the indexed fields are optimizable in the SELECT statement by Rushmore. The difference in query processing time would surprise you.
