I get

Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource.

Error Type: Bad Request
Error Value: ['startDateString']

the get_days_events() sql function looks like this...

SELECT * FROM tblCalendar
WHERE
(startDate <='<dtml-var startDateString> 23:59:00'
AND endDate >= '<dtml-var startDateString> 00:00:00')
OR 
(startDate >= '<dtml-var startDateString> 00:00:00'
AND startDate <= '<dtml-var startDateString>  23:59:00')
ORDER BY startDate

with startDateString entered into the arguments field

I know the sql is a bit ugly but it's what I'm stuck with
:-|


I tried using <dtml-sqlvar but it wrapped quotes around my date which also
needs the time to work.
