Geez ... and people really put up with this huh?

I thjink I'll just try to make sure everything is input as jsut the date part of the expression so it goes to 12:00AM. What's the best way to get the "date part" of a GetTime() value?

thanks for your help!

Now, how can I construct my where clause to find all records with an order date of "05/01/99" ? Obviously a search for "OrderDate = "05/01/99" wouldn't work because of the time portion of the value.
