Hi,
It depends what type of database you are tapping.

If its Oracle or DB2 its SYSDATE.

Where [The Field] < SYSDATE

If its Access or an Excel table, it's DATE().

Where [The Field] < DATE()

Neither worked, I am trying to get into a pervasive database if you have any idea?

Why not use a parameter query which picks up the date from a cell in Excel. then you can simply use the Today() function
