Barry, I think you've got too many quotes in your SQL - the db is
trying to find the year from the string 'date paid'. You want to use
it as a column name, so drop the quotes:
Select * from Capclave2005reg
Where Year(Date Paid) = 2004;
If you've really got a space in your column name, try enclosing it in
backticks instead of quotes - ` instead of ', as in
Select * from Capclave2005reg
Where Year(`Date Paid`) = 2004;
Regards,
Dan

I've got a table of people who registered for a convention. Each person
has a registration date, kept in a standard date field. How do I select
for people who registered in a particular month or year? The obvious tests
like:
Select * from Capclave2005reg
Where Year('Date Paid') = 2004;
return no rows. I can extract any piece of that date I want in a SELECT,
but can't seem to use it in a WHERE clause at all. There has to be
something really obvious that I'm missing?
