Try:

SELECT MONTH(myDateField) As myMonth FROM ... in your SQL statement.  That
should return a column in your result set that just has the month portion of
the date.

Subject: group by month??


Hello cf-talk,

 I have a list of events I want to show on a web page. Each event is
  listed as month, days and name of event.

  Needs to look like this on the webpage:

  APRIL     22-26 Ricky and his stupid band
            28-30 Carla and her bad voice

  MAY       2-4   Zippy and the ZipRockets
            10-12 Dummy and the Dummets



I'm trying to make a group by month CFOUTPUT work, but with no luck.
Since the GROUP BY looks at the complete date. No real grouping.

Can I group by just the month, or do I need to start at the input side
in the database. I was thinking of setting up the access database to
accept just a month, but it can't. I also need it to be a real date so
I can sort (not a text field)

Am I approaching this from the right angle?? Missing an obviously
better way to do this??


Best regards,
 Jeff Fongemie                          mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
