    If not I guess I can create my own udf. Thanks

    SELECT something

    FROM someentity

    WHERE DATEPART(MONTH, somedate) = DATEPART(MONTH, GETDATE())

    AND DATEPART(YEAR, somedate) = DATEPART(YEAR, GETDATE())

    Here's how I'd do it:

    SELECT something

    FROM someentity

    WHERE somedate>= DATEADD(mm,DATEDIFF(mm,0,GETDATE()),0)

    Please note that I removed the datepart function from the source column to make it SARG-able (= to allow for an index seek instead of a scan assuming there's an index that could be used).

    thanks!

    For some other date manipulation functions, look here: Some Common Date Routines.
