#1241 - Operand should contain 1 column MySQL error

HI, Im getting the following error when i run the below MySQL code

#1241 - Operand should contain 1 column(s)

The code causing problems is this, i basically want to get the field 'plate' where the stock.regdate falls between regyear.startdate and regyear.enddate

(SELECT regyear.plate, regyear.startdate, regyear.enddate FROM regyear WHERE 'stock.regdate' between regyear.startdate and regyear.enddate) as RegYear

When i remove the code from the rest of the query, run it on its own, substituting stock.regdate for '2004-09-02' it works perfectly.

What might i be doing wrong?

Cheers
Rob

My observation .. you shouldn't include column name in single quotes.. should be in back ticks ( ` )

Try below...(with back ticks ` )

SELECT
stock.id,
stock.registration,
stock.advertisedprice,
stock.datein,
stock.variant,
stock.mileage,
stock.exteriorname,
stock.interiorname,
stock.ispoa,
stock.ismoa,
stock.supplierid,
stock.statusid,
stock.typeid,
stock.buyerid,
stock.datepurchase,
stock.vin,
stock.enginenumber,
