Problem
I have a full backup set (SQL server) and I am trying to restore the Database to a previous date and time. Every time I restore it (To another database) selecting a previous date that I want from the backup set, its RESTORES the latest version of the data. I can still query for data after the point in time.
All I want to for the backup to stop at the point in time indicated (see image)
Is there something that i am missing?
DB: SQL server 2000
Tool used: Enterprise manager

Solution
You didn't say what backups you have. If you only have a full backup, then there's no point-i-time restore. It can only be restored to the "snapshot in time" it reflects (towards the end of the backup period).
If you do have also transaction log backups, then I agree that you should test SSMS and see what RESTORE commands it generates (you have a script button to see the TSQL) and then take it from there.
