Macro vbscript to set range between day 1 and today

I would like to select records starting from the 1st day of the month to the current day of the month.
My first attempt:
Sub firstSel
Set q = ActiveDocument
q.ClearAll (True)
Set f1=q.GetField("AV_FLOW_YEAR")
f1.select("2011")
Set f2=q.GetField("AV_FLOW_MONTH")
f2.select("09")
Set f3=q.GetField("DAY")
f3.select(">=1 <=today()")
'would like to set range to be >=1 <=today()
End sub
However, today is not a value in vbScript
Have tried datepart, to no avail

Set f1=q.GetField("AV_FLOW_YEAR")
f1.select("2011")
Set f2=q.GetField("AV_FLOW_MONTH")
f2.select("09")
Set f3=q.GetField("DAY")
f3.select(">=1 <="&datepart("d",now()))
'would like to set range to be >=1 <=today()
End sub

Looks like I found the answer, by using the & to append the value to the string expression used for the search criteria
