Extract Data Based on Year and Month

Question

My clients have taken an Oracle DB TimeStamp field and
downloaded it to Access in a TEXT field format.
Sample data: 20060401001348CS
All I am trying to do is extract data based on year and
month. I have equal to 200604*, 200604%. Have also tried to used
LIKE.
Nothing works. It just can't be that dificult. Please help.
Thanks

Answer 1

After breaking my inquiry down into bits and pieces the
problem is not just the LIKE, it is a combination of events. The
entire picture is this:
User selects Year from a drop down (2006), then selects month
from drop down (04). I then build a variable called
EventReport Date with the statement <cfset EventReportDate
= Session.InquiryYear & Session.InquiryMonth & "%">
It correctly displays as 200604% - When used by itself as
below, it works just fine.
WORKS
<cquery name="GetEventCount" datasource="CountyDB">
Select count(AD_ID) as EventCount, TYCOD, TYP_ENG, CURENT,
CDTS
FROM aeven
WHERE CDTS LIKE '#EventReportDate#'
Group By AG_ID, TYCOD, TYP_ENG, CURENT, CDTS
</cfquery>
WORKS (additional WHERE criteria)
<cquery name="GetEventCount" datasource="CountyDB">
Select count(AD_ID) as EventCount, TYCOD, TYP_ENG, CURENT,
CDTS
FROM aeven
WHERE ((AG_ID = '#Session.InquiryAgencyCode#') AND (CURENT =
'T'))
Group By AG_ID, TYCOD, TYP_ENG, CURENT, CDTS
</cfquery>
FAILS **** There is something wrong with the combination of
the WHERE clause items
<cquery name="GetEventCount" datasource="CountyDB">
Select count(AD_ID) as EventCount, TYCOD, TYP_ENG, CURENT,
CDTS
FROM aeven
WHERE ((AG_ID = '#Session.InquiryAgencyCode#') AND (CURENT =
'T')
AND (CDTS LIKE '#EventReportDate#'))
Group By AG_ID, TYCOD, TYP_ENG, CURENT, CDTS
</cfquery>
NOTE: There is not an error message, it just comes back with
zero records.
MORE LOST THAN EVER! Thanks for your help
