i have a table called
registrants

id
mydate (datetime field)
name

how can i get
1. a count of all registrants where mydate is from last week - meaning last monday morning though sunday night
2. a count of all this week - from monday morning to next monday morning
(so if today is monday it will just show today but if today was friday it would show count of monday to friday)

1.select count(*) from registrants where mydate > dateadd(wk,datediff(wk,0,getdate())-1,0) and mydate <dateadd(wk,datediff(wk,0,getdate()),0)

2.select count(*) from registrants where mydate > dateadd(wk,datediff(wk,0,getdate()),0) and mydate <dateadd(wk,datediff(wk,0,getdate())+1,0)

thanks but one question
select count(*) from appeals where mydatetime > dateadd(wk,datediff(wk,0,getdate())-1,0) and mydatetime <dateadd(wk,datediff(wk,0,getdate()),0)

your doing -1 - does that mean tommorow this query would show this week?
or even on friday it would still show last weeks count? (meaning whatever this shows me today it should also show me tomorrow?) is this correct
