Question : Access Query - how to manipulate date in format yyyymm

Hello,

I'd be grateful if anyone can help me with the following.

I have a table with a field that contains a date in the format yyyymm, it is assumed that this date is always the 15th of the month, for example 200306 means June 15 2003.

I need to only select data where this date is more than two months old.

Can anyone advise please?

I suspect this is an easy question if you know how.

Thanks

David.

I guess hhammash solution will not work, since the field you are testing on is a String field, not a date field.

I think this will work.

select * from table
where field & "15" < format(Date()-60, "YYYYMMDD")
