Lo all,

I want to list all records within a certain date period from a recordset in dreamweaver MX. (eg between 05/10/02 - 07/10/02 ) I'm using ASP for the server script & access for the database.

Anyone have any ideas?

thanks

Posted this on another thread somewhere, here it is again:

When searching for a range of dates with ASP I use a Start-date menu and a end-date menu. These values are then passed through the to the results page by the form.

In the results page I use:

sDate1 = request.form("startDate"
sDate2 = request.form("endDate"

And then the SQL Statement would be:

sSQL = "Select * from tblDate where myDate BETWEEN '" & sDate & "' AND '" & sDate2 & "' order by myDate"

This will give you the records that fall on and between these 2 dates.

For one specific date you could use a condition:

sDate1 = request.form("startDate"
sDate2 = request.form("endDate"

If sDate2 = "Choose a Date" then 'means user has not selected an end date
sSQL = "Select * from tblDate where myDate ='" & sDate & "' order by myDate"
else 'user has selected two date, start and end
sSQL = "Select * from tblDate where myDate BETWEEN '" & sDate & "' AND '" & sDate2 & "' order by myDate"
End If

Hope this helps a bit,

Stuart
