# BetweenDates

Will compare inclusive of the dates used (ignoring time). This can be arranged in any order e.g. `BetweenDates(Today, "15-10-2010")` or replace `Today` with a date e.g. `BetweenDates("15-10-2010","23-10-2010")`.

#### Example

The Expressions above could be used to check whether the date entered by the operator, or the date picked up by the system is before, after or within a time-frame. For example, to check the date of a claim against an insurance policy or warranty, or whether the enquiry is before or after a change in company Policy, to ensure the appropriate action. The example below shows an Expression being tested and returning True or False if an entered date is within range:
