I am trying to create a script that will show users online without using global.asa. I almost have it working besides one thing. I want my sql to delete entries in a table once an entry reaches a certain point. So here is what I have. My problem is it deletes everything in the table.
Suggesstions.

Here is the code:

strTimeout = 5
StrOnlineTimedout = dateadd("n",-strtimeout*60,onlinedate)

StrSql = "DELETE FROM active_users WHERE Last_Seen < '" & StrOnlineTimedout & "'"
adoCon.execute (StrSql)

I am using an access db and the column Last_Seen has a type "memo" and the form that the date entered into the column is 1/3/2004 2:40:17 PM using the now() function.

Thanks

Why are you using a memo datatype to represent date/time data ? This is probably causing your problem because it is doing an ascii comparison in the where clause.

got it figured out. I changed to date/time and changed the sql to this

StrSql = "DELETE FROM active_users WHERE Last_Seen < #" & StrOnlineTimedout &"#"
