And yeah...it is stored as a date/time field and not a string. <!----------------//------ andy matthews web developer ICGLink, Inc.

Either way, try something like this : <cfif FORM.year IS NOT ""> AND YEAR(n.due_datetime) = '#FORM.year#' </cfif> <cfif FORM.month IS NOT ""> AND MONTH(n.due_datetime) = '#FORM.month#' </cfif> <cfif FORM.day IS NOT ""> AND DAY(n.due_datetime) = '#FORM.year#' </cfif> This is not tested, and i cant ever remember the differences in the database types, but you should have some sort of date type functions that will pull out the specific year month or day from a date and compare it. It will slow things down, but not any slower than doing a LIKE. If it doesnt work, you might need to make sure you are storing it in the db as a timestamp, not a string. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
