I'm trying to setup a target express for a discount. This discount only
displays if a user is a current member based on the members account
expiration date.

I have a date field in the user profile named, "AccountExpiration" and I
want to compare that field to today's date.

I'm able to create an expression like:
UserProfile.AccountExpiration < 1/1/2004

I would like to create an expression like:
UserProfile.AccountExpiration < Today()

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks in advance....

Tim,

Current version of commerce server product won't allow you to set an express
ion value (for example, Today()) on the right hand side of the operator.

I think what you can do is to create another property in user profile, let's
 call it: AccountIsValid, for example. Then in your site code, before runnin
g basket pipeline, you compare user profile's AccountExpiration
filed with DateTime.Now. If account is expired, your site code can set UserP
rofile.AccountIsValid to false. Your discount can use target expression User
Profile.AccountIsValid = true.

HTH,
