How is the last mailing date variable set? Have you tried printing out the queries that are run when it is run manually and when it is run as a cron to find any differences? -patrick On Jul 11, 2010 8:23 AM, "Ron Piggott" <[email protected]> wrote: I am trying to write a query to select a trivia question, but I don't want the trivia question category to be the same two days in a row so I added a second "SELECT" syntax to find out what category was used yesterday. This works when I test it "live", but doesn't work when it is part of a cron job. How do I get the value of `Bible_trivia_category_reference` from the second SELECT query to be used in the first? What change is needed?
