Jeff:

The way it works is thusly:

Send an example of the query you're having trouble with.  Indicate whether the
query is executed in a PHP, c, or perl application.

Send the result of the query, or error messages if they exist.

Ex.:
The query:
$rs2=mysql_query(
	"select count(*) from dlg where hid='$UId' and
	(dlgdate >= DATE_SUB(now(), INTERVAL 31 DAY)
	and (dlgdate <= '$DlgNow'
	and 
	dialog like '%$rowexpl[expletive]%'))");

PHP application.

Result in this example is successful.  No errors.

Start from there.  You could also get Paul Dubois excellent book:  ISBN
0-7357-0921-1.

Best Regards,
Van
