SQL "Date" Code - What am I Missing??

[slsl]

Hi Everyone,

I know this shouldn't be difficult, but none the less am stumped by this little item...

From ADMIN app I go and run a 2 line SQL code

Line 1: Select * from Activity

Line 2: Where Startdate < '12/31/2010'

Seems simple and easy enough!!

But then I get records with a Startdate after 1/1/2011 (Please see attached JPG).

So what am I missing??

As always, thanks in advance!!

This works fine for me. 

Try using the Build Query button and see if that works.

Hi Emma,

Actually you gave me an idea with the Build Query tool!!  I slapped together a one line code snippet and I noticed the difference in how the STARTDATE field was selected/formatted -

where startdate < '20101231 00:00:00'

versus

where startdate < '12/31/2010'

and the "new" code presented the correct values!!

No, I don't know why, but hey, I'm not complaining so thanks a bazillion for the assist and have a good day!!
