Jim,

Shouldn't your condition be:
'Target Date' > $TIMESTAMP$ AND 'Target Date' <= $TIMESTAMP$ + 60*60*24
which is equivalent to
'Target Date' > $TIMESTAMP$ AND 'Target Date' <= $TIMESTAMP$ + 86400

The above condition would bring all results where the 'Target Date' is
greater than the current time, but less than 24 hrs later which gives you
the result set you are seeking.

Also please make sure you have an index on 'Target Date' if you are going to
run this kind of a search else when your record count reaches are few
hundred thousands, you won't have too much fun waiting for the results of
that search..

Cheers

Joe

It is late on a Friday my brain is a bit fried...or getting old...anyway,
trying to do a simple thing, I am trying to set up a query that shows
tickets about to escalate in one day...

So time date field (target date) - 60*60*24 < target date.

I am hoping this shows me what is going to escalate or exceed target
tommorow.

Thanks,

Jim
