The topic pretty much sums up my question.

What would the sql query be to return only all the records in a table that are 45 days old from today.

Thank you for any help in this matter

where MyColumn > DATEADD(d, DATEDIFF(d, 0, GetDate()), -45)

Unfort, that didn't work, but it got me to doing more research to find the right query, here'w what ended up working.

WHERE mycolumn > DATEADD('d', -100, now())

The problem was probably because I am using ASP (1st) amd 2nd, I am using Access for the DB..

Thank you nevertheless, you pointed me in the right direction.
