What the crap! MySQL

OK. this is the dilio

I have a query that get the count of the records. This is what i had at first…

SELECT Count(*) AS total FROM events WHERE intdate >= " & timeStamp() & " Limit 4;

then it gave me this error.

[color=#000000][font=verdana] Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E14)
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘Limit 4’ at line 1
/ambersdiary/home.asp, line 75[/font][/color]

then I thought, "well its just returning a number, so the Limit 4 shouldn’t be helping at all, so i took it off. So now im down to.

SELECT Count(*) AS total FROM events WHERE intdate >= " & timeStamp() & ";

And I get the error…

**/ambersdiary/home.asp, line 75

**[/font][/color]Then I tried both the querying the in MySQL Command line client.

They both work fine. I really dont get it. I’m also using MyODBC, But i dont think that will do anything.

thanks for any help,
