I am trying to run

<operating system, programming> The process of carrying out
	the {instructions} in a computer program by a computer.

	See also {dry run}.

	(1996-05-13)

a query

1. <database, information science> A user's (or {agent}'s)
	request for information, generally as a formal request to a
	{database} or {search engine}.

	{SQL} is the most common {database query language}.

	2. <character> {question mark}.

	(1997-04-09)

on an Access

1. <language> An English-like query language used in the
	{Pick} {operating system}.

	2. <database, product> {Microsoft Access}.

	(1994-11-08)

table

<database> A collection of {records} in a {relational database}.

	(1997-06-04)

that lists

<data> A data structure holding many values, possibly of
	different types, which is usually accessed sequentially,
	working from the head to the end of the tail - an "ordered
	list".  This contrasts with a (one-dimensional) {array}, any
	element of which can be accessed equally quickly.

	Lists are often stored using a cell and pointer arrangement
	where each value is stored in a cell along with an associated
	pointer to the next cell.  A special pointer, e.g. zero, marks
	the end of the list.  This is known as a (singly) "linked
	list".  A doubly linked list has pointers from each cell to
	both next and previous cells.

	An unordered list is a {set}.

a series of events,
both past and future. I'd like to be able to pull

<messaging> A model of media distribution were the bits of
	content have to be requested by the user, e.g. normal use of
	{HTTP} on the {World-Wide Web}.

	Opposite: "{push media}".

	(1997-04-10)

all of the records of
past events by comparing the date

<convention, data> A string unique to a time duration of 24
	hours between 2 successive midnights defined by the local time
	zone.  The specific representation of a date will depend on
	which calendar convention is in force; e.g., Gregorian,
	Islamic, Japanese, Chinese, Hebrew etc. as well as local
	ordering conventions such as UK: day/month/year, US:
	month/day/year.

	Inputting and outputting dates on computers is greatly
	complicated by these {localisation} issues which is why they
	tend to operate on dates internally in some unified form such
	as seconds past midnight at the start of the first of January
	1970.

	Many software and hardware representations of dates allow only
	two digits for the year, leading to the {year 2000} problem.

	{Unix manual page}: date(1), ctime(3).

	(1997-07-11)

field

<data, database> An area of a {database} {record}, or
	{graphical user interface} {form}, into which a particular
	item of data is entered.

	Example usage: "The telephone number field is not really a
	numerical field", "Why do we need a four-digit field for the
	year?".

	A {database} {column} is the set of all instances of a given
	field from all records in a {table}.

	(1999-04-26)

in the table to the current

<electronics> The quantity of {charge} per unit time, measured
	in Amperes (Amps, A).  By historical convention, the sign of
	current is positive for currents flowing from positive to
	negative {potential}, but experience indicates that electrons
	are negatively charged and flow in the opposite direction.

	(1995-10-05)

time. Is
there any way to write

1. <chat> {Unix}'s simple {talk} command and {protocol}.
	write has been largely superseded by {talk} and then {irc}.

	An enhancement, {RWP}, has been proposed.

	2. <tool> A simple {text editor} for {Windows}.

	(1998-04-28)

this into the query? Something like... WHERE eventDate <
#Now()#? Help! :)

As long as your db field has a date datatype, what you suggested as a something like, will probably work. What happened when you tried it?

OK, so, just changed something slightly in my code, and it works now! My field
is indeed a date datatype. In case anyone is interested...

<CFSET now = #Now()#>

<CFQUERY name="events" datasource="cdc">
SELECT
*
FROM
events
WHERE
taped = yes AND eventDate < #now#
ORDER BY
eventDate DESC, eventName
</CFQUERY>
