Nothing's really wrong. That's just a notice from MS Query that it can't
represent the RunDate field in a table so it can't show you the query
graphically. From that point on, you'll need to edit the query via the SQL
window.

Does that help?

Perhaps if you posted a little more of your SQL code and told us what kind of
database (Oracle, MS Access, SQLServer, etc) you're accessing, we'd have a
better chance of helping.

get day() doesnt work.

There are 2 ways to solve this:

create a new column in your select clause that gives the current
day/time. The function to do this depends on the DBMS. e.g. for SQL
server this is "getdate()"

so "Select getdate() as CurrentDate, ...... from ...." would work on
SQL Server.

If your query gives more that 1 record you will see the date for each
line (maybe not want you want).

With VBA it would look something like this:

In Thisworkbook module:

Dim Withevents qtb as QueryTable

Sub Workbook_Open

Set qtb = Thisworkbook.Sheets("Mysheet").QueryTables("Mytabl e")

End Sub


qtb_AfterRefresh(bSuccess as boolean)

if bSuccess then Range("Mysheet!A1") = Now()

End Sub

This code would update A1 with current date after a succesful refresh.

Is the $date$ function available through ODBC drivers? if so this might
be an issue with MSQuery.

Maybe edit your query directly through VBA or another tool?

I not, use the VBA solution.
