Rick, This portion of the site was done by a previous employee and well you know the expression.. "If its not broke don't fix it." Well now that I cannot query the db by the date it is now broke and I am still figuring out how MySQL is taking entries to the db so I figured this bit of information would maybe sum up the problem in the date field. I have been reading up on the date function in the MySQL book I have but somethings it just doesn't cover. So please excuse my being vague.
