Finding Records between 2 dates

[CKonash]

Hello, 

I could use some help with a find function.  I have a table with fields  for DateStart and DateEnd for each record.  I have been unsuccessful in getting a Find to work when I have a single global date field and then a Find script.  I when I enter a date into the global field and then use the find methods below I am not returning the records that fall in between those dates, it looks like I am returning the records that start and end on the date of the global date field?   

This seems like a simple idea but I can't figure out how to find records between dates based on a single field find script.

Your operators are reversed.

Prep_Returns::DateStart ≤ $DateSort
Prep_Returns::DateEnd ≥ $DateSort

BTW, the Show All Records step is redundant. Perform Find automatically searches the entire table. And you don't need to put the Prep_Returns::g_DateSort field into a variable. You can use it directly in the Find criteria.

Hi Doughemi, 

Thank you so much.  I can't believe I just had the symbols backwards.  I could have sworn that I tried that.   Also thank you very much on letting me know about the extra script steps that I didn't need.  I learned filemaker by watching other and just doing so things like that I never learned before.  

Thanks again!
