I have a table field SO_DateTimeStamp, datatype = datetime, and I want to pull data from that table where the SO_DateTimeStamp is 14 minutes or more earlier than current date/time Now(). In MS Access it would look something like "HAVING (dbo.TABLE.SO_DateTimeStamp < DateAdd("n",-14,Now())". What would it look like in T-SQL? Thanks!

WHERE dbo.TABLE.SO_DateTimeStamp < DateAdd(minute,-14,GETDATE())

Don't put that in the HAVING clause, it will reduce performance (significantly).

Hmmm...Tried this in a view and the result set returns ALL records going back to 5/3/2010:
SELECT SO_Number, SO_ReleaseNo, SO_ItemNo, SO_Qty, SO_DateTimeStamp
FROM dbo.MAS_SO_Invoice
WHERE (SO_DateTimeStamp < DATEADD([minute], - 14, GETDATE()))

Tried replacing GETDATE() with Now() and SQL changes syntax to read: < DATEADD([minute], - 14, { fn NOW() }), which still returns all records.

And this is correct, because they are "14 minutes or more earlier".

Seems you really meant "later"? So change the < to >=

Yep, works fine if I ensure that I exclude rows that have already been marked as invoiced!! Thanks all.
