hi.  I  need help with this simple setup.  i need to get a list of
announcements where active =1 and the discontinueDate is either null OR
less than NOW.

I haven't looked at your code but your words above indicate you want all announcements which haven't expired. I think that means a discontinueDate in future?

If so, you probably want one which is greater than NOW

?

There are two issues:

1) the filter doesn't work
2) numannouncements always equals 1 even when nothing is returned....

any ideas?
