I agree .. I had a Sh*t fit when I saw the table names and field names.. its not my doing.. I'm just workin with what I have.

        my $query = q{SELECT x
                   FROM Referrals
                   WHERE [Today's Date]>?};
        $sth = $dbh->prepare($query);
        $sth->execute($date);

produced the error
DBD::ODBC::st execute failed: called with 1 bind variables when 0 are 
+needed at
C:\Documents and Settings\xxx\Desktop\distribute.pl line 263.

I have no idea why this is causing problems. If it were a type mismatch the DBD would probably say so.. .as I have had similar errors in the past. The query does work if I hard code in a value and call with no bind variables however. So at least things aren't THAT screwed up.

edit:I took jeffa's suggestion and just interpolated it like I did before the grand days of discovering parameter binding.. this worked just fine... still bugs me though.
