Re: filtering records between 2 dates

So herein lies the double-edged sword of utility functions: they do exactly what you tell them to do! If you run '1960101' through DATE(), it converts.  But it converts to '1960-04-10'.  Now THERE is a subtle error waiting to bite you...

Scott, I'm the king of typos, so I like ISO because it's consistent and it forces me to mentally separate the year, month and day.  Look at your date again.  :)

Put the format of the dates like Joe sent you '1960-01-01'.  Or I usually just use '1960101'.  Those always convert properly without relying on format settings.
