What database?
In Firebird and Interbase for example you can do:
WHERE loans.pay_date < 'TODAY'

Superbase. In Superbase I can use TODAY and it works fine. Problem is when I
insert SQL statement in MS Query I get various errors.
I tried yours and got the following error msg "Ivalid operand for operator:
<" Other messages include - "Expected Lexical element not found..", "Column
not found..." etc...

Thanks.

I don't know Superbase, but maybe you can do this:

WHERE loans.pay_date < (select TODAY from loans)

The other option is to use a variable and put the current date in that in
the right format, so you will get something like this:

"SELECT * FROM loans WHERE loans.pay_date < " & strCurrentDate

Try:

WHERE loans.pay_date < GETDATE()
