    Been trying to figure this out... what exactly are the date calculations doing in the code below:

    select join_date from company where join_date <= convert(varchar(10),(dateadd(day, -1*day(dateadd(month, 0 ,getdate())),dateadd(month, 0 , getdate()))),101) Thanks. Rog

    select convert(varchar(10),(dateadd(day, -1*day(dateadd(month, 0 ,getdate())),dateadd(month, 0 , getdate()))),101)

    --results:

    05/31/2009

    it is finding the last day of the month prior to today. then of course it's find data in your table that is earlier than that.
