Thanks for the help!
OK, the statement works only partialy.... for example, if I have:
SELECT SUM(AMOUNT), TRANSACT, transDate FROM ALESSAND WHERE transDATE > '2010-09-30';
I get correct results, however, if I add a qualifiers to the end, such as:
SELECT AMOUNT, TRANSACT, transDate FROM ALESSAND WHERE transDATE > '2010-09-30' AND TRANSACT = 'DEPOSIT' OR TRANSACT = 'WITHDRAW FUNDS';
Then I get all transactions that in those categories, for ALL dates, the transDate > part of the statement no longer works. This is true for ANY number of qualifers after the date qualifer.
