I have the following query:

SELECT [Employees].name, [Employees].EmployeeNumber, dateadd(n,Timestamp, '12/31/1899')-([LoggedIn]/1000)/60/1440 +1 as date,
dateadd(n,Timestamp,'12/31/1899')-([LoggedIn]/1000)/60/1440+1 AS Day, Sum([LoggedIn]/1000/60) AS LogIn,
Sum ([OnTime]/1000/60) AS OnTime1,
dateadd (n,Timestamp, '12/31/1899')-([LoggedIn]/1000)/60/1440+1 AS Da INTO ScratchPad1

FROM Employees INNER JOIN dbo.mOpInterval ON [Employees].Employeenumber = dbo.mOpInterval.Opname

GROUP BY [Employees].name, [Employees].EmployeeNumber, dateadd(n,Timestamp, '12/31/1899')-([LoggedIn]/1000)/60/1440+1,
dateadd(n,Timestamp, '12/31/1899')-([LoggedIn]/1000)/60/1440+1,dateadd(n,Timestamp, '12/31/1899')-([LoggedIn]/1000)/60/1440+1

where dateadd (n,Timestamp,'12/31/1899')-([LoggedIn]/1000)/60))/1440+1, Between 9/15/2010 And 9/18/2010


And when I try to run this I get the following error:
Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 11
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'where'.

Can anyone assist me with what I'm not seeing here?

You need single quotes around the date in the WHERE clause, and you've got a comma in there that shouldn't be.

I think you are also missing parenthesis for your DATEADD calculations. I don't have SQL Server access right now, but I think you've got quite a few syntax problems.

tara,

Thank you and I've gone back and made some changes but it seems that the incorrect syntax is before the where clause:

SELECT [Employees].name, [Employees].EmployeeNumber, dateadd(n,Timestamp, '12/31/1899')-([LoggedIn]/1000)/60/1440 +1 as date,
dateadd(n,Timestamp,'12/31/1899')-([LoggedIn]/1000)/60/1440+1 AS Day, Sum([LoggedIn]/1000/60) AS LogIn,
Sum ([OnTime]/1000/60) AS OnTime1,
dateadd (n,Timestamp, '12/31/1899')-([LoggedIn]/1000)/60/1440+1 AS Da INTO ScratchPad1

FROM Employees INNER JOIN dbo.mOpInterval ON [Employees].Employeenumber = dbo.mOpInterval.Opname

GROUP BY [Employees].name, [Employees].EmployeeNumber, dateadd(n,Timestamp, '12/31/1899')-([LoggedIn]/1000)/60/1440+1,
dateadd(n,Timestamp, '12/31/1899')-([LoggedIn]/1000)/60/1440+1,dateadd(n,Timestamp, '12/31/1899')-([LoggedIn]/1000)/60/1440+1

where dateadd ((n,Timestamp,'12/31/1899')-([LoggedIn]/1000)/60))/1440+1) Between '9/15/2010' And '9/18/2010'

produces this error:
Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 11
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'where'.

I'd recommend counting the number of parenthesis that you've got to ensure you have an equal number of lefts and rights.

I think you've got an issue with the join condition too.

When I get back to a SQL Server connection, I'll see if I can help out more.

Tara,

I'll let you know that if I run this without the where clause, this query produces results, just not in a specific date range but for all data within the database, so I know that the inner join works correctly as is (I believe) and I'll verify the number of parenthesis to make sure I don't have too many in there.

Two problems that I can find now that I'm in front of SQL Server:
1. Your WHERE clause is not in the correct location (needs to be before the GROUP BY).
2. You've got 3 left parens and 5 right parens in the WHERE clause.

Tara,

Thanks for your help. This works now:

SELECT [Employees].name, [Employees].EmployeeNumber, dateadd(n,Timestamp, '12/31/1899')-([LoggedIn]/1000)/60/1440 +1 as date,
dateadd(n,Timestamp,'12/31/1899')-([LoggedIn]/1000)/60/1440+1 AS Day, Sum([LoggedIn]/1000/60) AS LogIn,
Sum ([OnTime]/1000/60) AS OnTime1,
dateadd (n,Timestamp, '12/31/1899')-([LoggedIn]/1000)/60/1440+1 AS Da INTO ScratchPad1

FROM Employees INNER JOIN dbo.mOpInterval ON [Employees].Employeenumber = dbo.mOpInterval.Opname

where dateadd (n,Timestamp,'12/31/1899')-([LoggedIn]/1000)/60/1440+1 Between '9/15/2010' And '9/18/2010'

GROUP BY [Employees].name, [Employees].EmployeeNumber, dateadd(n,Timestamp, '12/31/1899')-([LoggedIn]/1000)/60/1440+1,
dateadd(n,Timestamp, '12/31/1899')-([LoggedIn]/1000)/60/1440+1,dateadd(n,Timestamp, '12/31/1899')-([LoggedIn]/1000)/60/1440+1
