AND/ OR precedence mistake. Your query will return all the rows for which order_status='Not Shipped' Probably what you want is: select * FROM OrderTable WHERE submitted=1 AND dateinserted>='1036386000' AND dateinserted<='1036502796' AND ( order_status='Shipped' OR order_status='Not Shipped' ) HTH Ignatius J.
