John, I believe that the keyword $TIMESTAMP$ must be escaped. In other words use both the dollar sign ($) and backslash (\) so that you have $\TIMESTAMP$. I know that has worked for me with other keywords. You'll have to used the combined customqual to get it to work. Barb Siebert QMX Support Services

Tickets that are over 30 days all while the status is not Closed or Resolved. In the Flashboard variable I have ('Status' != "Resolved") AND ('Status' != "Closed") AND ('Create-date' < ($TIMESTAMP$ - 2592000)) Which works! In my active link I have "customqual='Supervisor Group+'=" +""""+ $Tickets By Group$+"""" Which works! But since the custom call over writes the variable I get all the tickets by the group selected and not the one that are over 30 days all while the status is not Closed or Resolved only. My question is how can I add on to the customqual so that it also includes the 30 day old and the correct status? I've tried various combination of "customqual='Supervisor Group+'=" +""""+ $Tickets By Group$+"""" + "('Status' != "Resolved")" + "('Status' != "Closed")" + " ('Create-date' < ($TIMESTAMP$ - 2592000))" But either errors out during the save of the active link or while refreshing the flashboard.
