So I am recreating some tables in Sql Server that originate in Access. I am having a bit of a problem converting the Dateadd Access Syntax to TSQL. Here is the query in Access and what i have so far in TSQL. I tried several Datediff functions but nothing seems to work. Thanks in advance for your help.

ACCESS:

SELECT Sales_ItemMonthly.ITEMNMBR, Sum(nz([QtySold],0)) AS SumOfQtySold, Sum(nz([Value],0)) AS SumOfValue
FROM Sales_ItemMonthly
WHERE (((Sales_ItemMonthly.Month) Between DateAdd("yyyy",-1,MthFirstday(Date())) And (mthfirstday(Date())-1)))
GROUP BY Sales_ItemMonthly.ITEMNMBR;

TSQL:

SELECT ITEMNMBR, ISNULL(SUM(QtySold), 0) AS SumOfQtySold, ISNULL(SUM(Value), 0) AS SumOfValue, Month
FROM cgi_master.dbo.Sales_ItemMonthly
GROUP BY ITEMNMBR, Month

between DATEADD(year, -1, DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, GETDATE()), 0)) and DATEADD(day, -1, DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, GETDATE()), 0))

Slightly shorter

WHERE	Sales_ItemMonthly.Month >= DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, '19010101', GETDATE()), '19000101')
	AND Sales_ItemMonthly.Month < DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, '19000101', GETDATE()), '19000101')
