what i would like to do is not hard code the date for the data i need, is
there a way to code the dates so that microsoft query
would pull those date from sql...ie;

[DateTime]


= CONVERT(VARCHAR(20), GETDATE()-5, 100) 12:00:00 AM and <=
CONVERT(VARCHAR(20), GETDATE(), 100) 11:59:59 PM

any ideas?
