Ever needed to-do this in SQL? select * from ATABLE where [SomeDate]=@A_DATE_YOU_WANT... Now suppose that you want to ignore times as SQL Server's DateTime object stores the time along with the date. You can modify the query to-do just this. select * from ATABLE CAST(FLOOR(CAST( [SomeDate] AS float)) AS datetime) = @A_DATE_YOU_WANT_TO_LOOKFO Obviously the variable @A_DATE_YOU_WANT_TO_LOOKFO should have its time set to midnight, but this works great...

I guess this figures with Symbol being bought by Motorola some time back. However this foxed our auto-barcode reader detection mechanism. We now have to detect MOTOROLA, but we are able to use the same code. Which I talked about a while back here The SDK has been improved slightly too- https://docs.symbol.com/Rel...
