    Another way to bypass the usage of @today in view selection is:

    1. Create a scheduled agent that runs once a day (0:01) that writes @Now to the server's NOTES.INI i.e.

    ENVIRONMENT CurrentDateTime:=@Text(@Now);

    2. In every selection formula that uses '@Now' use the code:

    now:=@TextToTime(@Environment("CurrentDateTime"))

    3. be sure that all view indexes rebuild every day after 0:01

    One of the advantages is that no changes are made to the production templates by an nightly agent. Obiously this option also has a few disadvantages, such as using NOTES.INI variables etc.
