Tom,

Thanks for the thought, I think that this can be the problem, as earlier there was no indexing on the column, but 2
daysback we added index on 5 of columns in the table and "somedate" is one of them. This problem have been noticed
afterthe index's were added.  
I can't test this out as this happens while people are using the software, and when someone complains, we have to fix
itimmediately we can't have people wait for the re-indexing to be done.  

For fixing it we just update the date to some other date and then update it back to what was originally, this way it
works.Any suggestion to get it fixed.  



Regards,
Sanjay Rajdev

Is there an index on somedate, and if so does reindexing it help?
