timestamp is a datetime year to second field. I need to specify a time like 6/7/2007 7:42:34am. How can I accomplish this? The closest I've been able to get is select * from calls where timestamp > date("06/07/2007") but I need the time too.

The default DATETIME format is as follows: select * from calls where timestamp > '2007-07-06 07:42:34' If you are using version 9 or later and need to use a different format, look up the TO_DATE function in the SQL Syntax manual or InfoCenter. -- Regards, Doug Lawry www.douglawry.webhop.org "cj" <ChrisJones@MailShack.com> wrote in message news:1181567460.303158.102590@p47g2000hsd.googlegroups.com... > timestamp is a datetime year to second field.
