You need to make sure that the formatting of what you are looking for is 
the same format of the field. (hopefully I said that right). So, try 
this.... It may be different depending on the flavor of your database.....

"SELECT COUNT (*) FROM post WHERE FormatDateTime(postdate,'MM/DD/YYYY')=#" 
& Date() & "#"

        Subject:        [ASP] Count Today's Posts




While we're on a roll here...

I'd like to count today's posts - I've used

"SELECT COUNT (*) FROM post WHERE postdate='" & Date() & "'"
"SELECT COUNT (*) FROM post WHERE postdate=#" & Date() & "#"
"SELECT COUNT (*) FROM post WHERE postdate='#" & Date() & "#'"

then I tried output these ways

GetTodaysPosts=conn.execute(SQL)
response.write GetTodaysPosts(0)

SELECT COUNT (*) FROM post as todaysposts WHERE postdate='#" & Date()
& "#'"
response.write todaysposts

It's either 0 or blank. Dare I ask for help again?
