I figured out at least one mistake. In my original posting, I did not indicate that the filter statement was being used in the Reports module, pulling data from an FNL list. So that explains part of the problem.

When I applied the filter directly to the FNL list, it works as expected... but I need to have a couple of instances of data on the same page, so I thought the Reports module would be the way to go here.

So.. new question... How can I filter data from an FNL table where [Custom_Date_Field_UDT_TICKS] > now ?

Mike, he asks for a filter expression within reports. This won't work (at least not with that provider)
