Hello All

I want to not only select an Article from todays date but I only want to display it from todays date. Okay that's no problem, I have that part working. But the problem is I don't always have any article for today. So I want to display only if there is an article and if no articles match today's date then nothing should be there. I hope that makes sense :)

Not sure, if you are using SQL server or MSAccess. But let me post this considering SQL server.

Intiate connection object and recordset object. Sql string should be contructed something like
strSql = "Select columnlist,... from ArticleTable where Convert(varchar(10),ArticleDate,121) = convert(varchar(10),getdate(),121)"

rs.Open, strSql, ConnObj

If Not rs.EOF then
     your display code
Else
     display nothing or say something about that.
End If

Hope that helps.
Cheers!

Wow that's so simple, I was trying to say
IF RS.Date = Today's date then
display
else
end if

Something like that anyways, cool thanks for your help and quick reply.

Thanks

Yes that way too works fine, but the recordset would have all the records populated and you will have to loop through it in your frontend till you get that matched to today's date, which is really not needed. This filters only for the current day's records and populates the recordset with just that or EOF if no match. So that way half your job is done at the backend and all you have to do is just display if any.

Cheers!
