How to select previous row value?

Am Selecting a Date between fromdate and todate using date picker

Code

Dim stdate, endate as string

stdate = Fromdate
endate = todate

Example:

fromdate:  01-01-2009
todate: 01-06-2009

Data’s will display fromdate to todate.

I want to select previous date means previous row value. How to select previous row value?

We cannot give

stdate = - fromdate 
endate =  - todate

It will display a data’s between 31-01-2008 to 31-05-2009

We cannot give

Stdate = <fromdate
endate = < todate

It will display a data’s before 01-01-2009 and also we cannot use > in between condition

Stdate = fromdate (Here how can I give “from previous row value of the fromdate”)
endate =  todate (here how can I give   “to previous row value of the todate”)

Example:

    id, date, name

    01, 02-01-2009, raja
    01, 04-01-2009, raja
    02, 04-01-2009, ravi

so on.....

01, 28-05-2009, raja
01, 31-05-2009, raja

so on...

am selecting a date stdate = 04-01-2009, endate= 31-05-2009

Output shoud display like this -

01, 02-01-2009, raja
01, 04-01-2009, raja
02, 04-01-2009, ravi

.......

01, 28-05-2009, raja

It should dipslay one record Before ssdate and endate.

• I do not completely understand what you are doing, but if you have a recordset object that is sorted on date you need to need something like

  If (recordset.BOF = False) Then
     recordset.MovePrevious
  End If
  

  If you are asking how to get a recordset that contains one record before the start date you are going to have to expand your query to try to include at least on record before the fromdate, find the first record with the fromdate, then use the MovePrevious method above.

  If you are just asking how to get a date prior to a given date then use the DateAdd method.

  example - the below code will subtract 1 day from 2/1/2009 and put 1/31/2009 into the valriable.

  dtPreviousDate = DateAdd("D", CDate("02-01-2009"), -1)
