Hello all I ve been off the "NET" for a while but now I am back under a new flag(company) I am trying to help someone with absolutly no VFP exp work on an older system I am helping him on the phone but i am forgetting something quite rudimentary we have a field with a date in it (12/01/99) and I am trying to think of how to filter out a specific month ie install_date >= 03/01/00 and install_date <= 03/31/00. I can't seem to think of how to do it and i still don't have VFP installed on my system here so i cant even check. Could anyone help me out?
