Can you give some examples of the data? For example, how is today's date represented in the numeric 8 column? |

I am not familiar with that representation of dates. What is the formula/process you would use to convert 19,991,216 to August 20, 2013?If you don't have that information, hopefully someone else on the forum may know. |

| James, I am not looking to convert the date.I am looking for select only the current date. I am going to make a VIew, so that the Crystal Report would only get the current date. The user runs this every day and is only interested in the current date. so it would only select 20,130,820 if run today. |

| Yes, GETDATE gets you current date and time. You will see what it does if you run the query "SELECT GETDATE()". The CONVERT function formats that to a string according to the format specifier (112) in this case: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187928.aspx |

| You can do this using the foreign key. You can set the unique Id as the one you prefer to be the reference point and call the rest of the table objects using that key as the major object. |
