Drupal Views how to filter items overlapping a date range

in Drupal I have used CCK to add a datetime 开发者_StackOverflow社区field to my custom data type. It inserts start date and end date fields. That is what I want. Now, I want Views to filter and show only the items that have the daterange (start date and end date) overlapping today's date. Any ideas on how to set it up on Views? What I think is strange is that the date fields of my custom content type don't seem to appear on the Views list when I am trying to add a filter. Thanks.

You should enable the Date module, and use the Date specific filtering. It will work much easier for you than getting CCK Date to work.
