It could be me, but aren't you compareing a string to a string? 'type_help' (with normal single quotes) is a string value. "Eye Exam & Glasses" can be a string value as well in MySQL, although you should always use single quotes. Oh, and a reminder: to solve your strange date-format problems, just store a date in a DATE-type column. Martijn Tonies Database Workbench - development tool for MySQL, and more!
