I'm surpised it ever worked at all. DataTime fields actually store more precision than they display, so SEEKing values in them, or COUNTing for a specific value doesn't generally work. There are several workarounds, one of which is to convert the field with TTOC() and count using that:


workdate = TTOC(sclhist.datetime)
count for TTOC(sclhist.datetime) = workdate
