I want to display some horse racing results I have on a page but I only want to show the results for the last 7 days.

I have fields for date, time of race, horses name and result.

How can I just get records within the last 7 days to display?

I'm new to this SQL malarky so please be gentle!

Hi,
I tried the one at the bottom and just get this error message.
MM_ERROR: MySQL Error#: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '[Date] > getdate()-7' at line 1
