Scripting help needed

Hi guys...

I'm wondering if someone can assist me with this little problem I'm having. The following code is for a job posting page for the site I'm building. Now, I only want records whose PostOnWeb value is -1 (for some reason, that is the value that MS Access uses for true when using Yes/No fields) and where the PostedUntil is greater than or equal to today's date. Any help would be appreciated.

Code:

<%
Dim JobsParam, JobsParam2
JobsParam = "-1"
JobsParam2 = "01/01/2000"
If (Request("MM_EmptyValue") <> "") Then 
JobsParam = Request("MM_EmptyValue")
End If
If (Request("MM_EmptyValue") <> "") Then 
JobsParam2 = Date()
End If
%>
<%
Dim Jobs, Jobs_numRows
Set Jobs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
Jobs.ActiveConnection = MM_mands_STRING
Jobs.Source = "SELECT JobID, Department, PositionTitle, PostedUntil, PostOnWeb, JobLink, FROM jobs WHERE PostOnWeb = " + Replace(Jobs__MMColParam, "'", "''") + " AND PostedUntil = " + Replace(Jobs__MMColParam2, "'", "''") + ""
Jobs.CursorType = 0
Jobs.CursorLocation = 2
Jobs.LockType = 1
Jobs.Open()
Jobs_numRows = 0
%>

I know there's a function called datediff or something along those lines, but I can't seem to get that function to work

Have a look at the SQL IS BETWEEN syntax

If I've posted some code above, you might think it looks a bit simplistic. It might be. I'd rather people tried the next step themselves rather than getting a full solution on a plate. That way they learn more!
