Wes writes "Hi,

I need to run an SQL query to get all records from last month- i so far have this but it's not working:

LASTEDITED AS Date
FROM question
WHERE DATEDIFF(MONTH, LASTEDITED, GETDATE()) = -1

Can you shed any light?

Thanks in advance,

Wes."

Wes,

DateDiff(month, date1, date2) will only give you the number of full months between your 2 dates. You could use a combination of the Year and Month functions as such:

SELECT LASTEDITED AS Date 
FROM question 
WHERE Year(LASTEDITED) = Year(GETDATE())
AND Month(LASTEDITED) = Month(GETDATE())-1

You'll then need to add some extra smarts to allow for running it in January...

This should return everything in the last month.

SELECT *
FROM question
WHERE LASTEDITED BETWEEN DateAdd("mm", -1, getdate()) AND getdate()

Look for help on DateAdd
