I'm trying to allow users to search for all issues within a date range. They get two text boxes to fill in the start and end dates. In my validation of the dates, I'm needing to make sure they don't specify a date range that comes before the date of the first created issue. I want to be able to catch that error and respond to them with the right feedback so they don't make that mistake again. How do I find out what the earliest date is in the cataloge? I'm thinking I would pull all issues and find the one with the earliest 'created' date. But I'm thinking there has to be a faster way. -- Regards, Bryan Simmons -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live. -- Rick Osborne -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
