Selecting records from the past three months - sql

Question

I have 2 tables from which i need to run a query to display number of views a user had in the last 3 months from now.
So far I have come up with: all the field types are correct.
SELECT dbo_LU_USER.USERNAME
, Count(*) AS No_of_Sessions
FROM dbo_SDB_SESSION
INNER JOIN dbo_LU_USER
ON dbo_SDB_SESSION.FK_USERID = dbo_LU_USER.PK_USERID
WHERE (((DateDiff("m",[dbo_SDB_SESSION].[SESSIONSTART],Now()))=0
Or (DateDiff("m",[dbo_SDB_SESSION].[SESSIONSTART],Now()))=1
Or (DateDiff("m",[dbo_SDB_SESSION].[SESSIONSTART],Now()))=2))
GROUP BY dbo_LU_USER.USERNAME;
Basically, the code above display a list of all records within the past 3 months; however, it starts from the 1st day of the month and ends on the current date, but I need it to start 3 months prior to today's date.
Also to let you know this is SQL View in MS Access 2007 code.
Thanks in advance

Depending on how "strictly" you define your 3 months rule, you could make things a lot easier and probably efficient, by trying this:
SELECT dbo_LU_USER.USERNAME, Count(*) AS No_of_Sessions
FROM dbo_SDB_SESSION
INNER JOIN dbo_LU_USER
ON dbo_SDB_SESSION.FK_USERID = dbo_LU_USER.PK_USERID
WHERE [dbo_SDB_SESSION].[SESSIONSTART] between now() and DateAdd("d",-90,now())
GROUP BY dbo_LU_USER.USERNAME;
(Please understand that my MS SQL is a bit rusty, and can't test this at the moment: the idea is to make the query scan all record whose date is between "TODAY" and "TODAY-90 days").
