thehandsomecode Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hello all, I need some help to figure this one out. I am trying to type a where clause to gather the following Here are the fields assigneddate : datetoclose I need to pull all records where the "assigneddate" is less than todays date and "datetoclose" is sometime in the future. however if the "datetoclose" field is empty i do not want it to evaluate the "datetoclsoe" is somewhere inthe future string. In that case I only want it to parse the "assigneddate" is less than today's date. Please help.

Maq Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Try something like this: SELECT * from [table] WHERE (datetoclose = '') OR (assigneddate [today]) If your datetoclose is default to null then change the logic to 'datetoclose IS NULL'.
