Hi Guys,
Your help will be greatly appreciated. OK now my question is that we are using SQL Server 2000 and we are using Microsoft Report Manager as a Reporting tool.
It has too text boxes labeled as Start Date and End Date. Let us say that I enter 07/10/2006 in Start Date and 07/10/2006 in End Date. When my report is executed it displays 07/10/2006 12:00 AM and 07/10/2006 12:00 AM in the End Date. IS IT CORRECT?
Actually I want report to display me all transactions according to GMT Time so Please help me in understanding that What time should It show in Start Date and End Date and I should be getting transactions from what time to what time if my Start Date and End Date is entered 07/10/2006 12:00AM.
Right now it is displaying me transactions for 07/10/2006 10:AM to 9:59PM of 07/11/2006. IS IT CORRECT?

Now if I enter 07/11/2006 in Start Date and End Date then please tell me should I be seeing any transactions of 07/11/2006 which were displayed when I had entered 07/10/2006 in Start Date and End Date
Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

There is no way to tell GMT time, unless the transactions made contains information about time zone.

And in your query, use

select * from whatever
WHERE someDatecolumn >= DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day, 0, @StartDate), 0)
and someDatecolumn < DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day, 0, @StartDate), -1)

The function GetUTCDate() returns Universal Time Coordinate or GMT) as per BOL. Check whether it can be of any help !
