This coulumn contains datetime. So it cant be grouped to get the amounts of reg users for each day. It gives me always 1 for a specific time. E.g: date:2002-07-29 17:21:00members:1 date:2002-07-29 17:21:50members:1 date:2002-07-29 17:23:05members:1 I played around now for 1/2 hour and could not figure out how to change this into what I want. Can you give me some more help on this? Thank you in advance, Merlin -- Worldwide Travel Community http://www.globosapiens.net "John W.
