VB6 - Retrieving records that is 90 days old from today's date

[GiftX]

Hi all,
My database/table is Access 2000 and the date format in the table is "mm/dd/yyyy"

My objective is to retrieve all records that is 90 days old from today's date.

I used this code:

& "WHERE tblUnclaimed.Original_Check_Date <= #" & DateAdd("d", -90, Date) & "# " _

And my output included records from 2002 as well as 2007 which is wrong.

What is the correct code/syntax?

Thanks.

And my output included records from 2002 as well as 2007 which is wrong.

Why is that wrong? Is not any date at all in either 2002 or 2007 greater than 90 days ago?

The answer is yes, so in fact, the output is completely correct based on what you are asking for.

Although you are getting what you are asking for, I suspect you are not getting what you want. So, perhaps you need to add an ADD clause to your query and stipulate a begin date so it does not go back into yesterday years.

Your code is fine, but you want records greater than or equal to 90 days ago:

& "WHERE tblUnclaimed.Original_Check_Date => #" & DateAdd("d", -90, Date) & "# " _

Dates >= a date 90 days ago gives you records that are 90 or less Days old.
Dates <= a date 90 days ago gives you records that are 90 or more Days old, no matter how much older, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, ect.
Dates = a date 90 days ago gives you records that are exactly 90 days old.

Without knowing what he is actually trying to do, it is difficult to suggest which option. If it is not one of the three above then a date range is probably what he needs.

A date range is, I believe, exactly what he needs.

Something the is equal to, but not greater than, 90 days ago (which, for today, would be May 24th)

So, I'm guessing he would want greater than or equal to 5/24 and less than or equal today.

Hi Hack,

This is what I did:

Dim Todaydate As Date

Todaydate = DateAdd("d", - 90, Date)
When I ran the query, Todaydate = 5/23/2008.
Then I plugged in "Todaydate" in my sql.

Look at the hilited code within my sql. This code worked. It gave me 14 records - Records ranging from 5/29/2008 to 7/31/2008
My Sql code:

Code:
strSQL = "SELECT tblUnclaimed.PassNumber, tblUnclaimed.EmployeeName, " _
& "Original_Check_Number, Amount_of_Check, Original_Check_Date, " _
& "EmployeeInfo.Status, tblL3Desc.L3, tblL3Desc.L3_Desc " _
& "FROM (EmployeeInfo Right JOIN tblUnclaimed ON EmployeeInfo.L1 = tblUnclaimed.L1 " _
& "AND EmployeeInfo.Pass_Number = tblUnclaimed.PassNumber) LEFT JOIN tblL3Desc " _
& "ON EmployeeInfo.L1 = tblL3Desc.L1 AND EmployeeInfo.L3 = tblL3Desc.L3 " _
& "AND EmployeeInfo.L5 = tblL3Desc.L5 " _
& "WHERE tblUnclaimed.Original_Check_Date Between #" & Startdate & "# AND Now() " _
& "AND tblUnclaimed.Status = 'U' ORDER BY tblL3Desc.L3, tblUnclaimed.PassNumber;"

And that worked.

Thanks.

WHERE tblUnclaimed.Original_Check_Date Between #" & Startdate & "# AND Now() --- that is what did it for you, right?
