In order to help you I'd like to know what the column data types are for dateEventDate and timeStartTime.

dateEventDate-date
timeStartTime-time(7)

Hi,

try this:

select * from tblEvents where (CONVERT(varchar(24),tblEvents.dateEventDate,100)+' '+CONVERT(varchar(20),timeStartTime,100)) between (GETDATE()) and (DATEADD(D,-1,GETDATE()))

Your code is not working, since GetDate returns a DateTime value, this means if you substract 1, you don't substract 1 day!

First value shuld be grater than second one..
