Bonnie that is a great point. I just wish I could simply use Like '2004-05-04%' :(

>>The problem can be solved by using the between clause. The where clause for such a query should be "where logdate between @logdate and @logdate2", where @logdate2 is @logdate + 1. The between clause can make use of an index if it exists, where using a convert function like "where convert(varchar,logdate,101) = @logdate" would not and it would slow down the query.
