Woo-hoo! It worked! Thanks so much! I owe you one!

Here's my stab, also untested:

"WHERE (STAY.S_ADATE='" & Format(Range("A1"),"yyyy-mm-
dd") & "' And
STAY.S_ADATE<='" & Format(Range("A2"),"yyyy-mm-dd") & "')
AND (STAY.S STATUS='HIST') A"

By the way, I had to remove the quotation marks around
the
A1 and the yyyy-mm-dd in order to avoid that Compile
error.

Thanks, Bob, for your attempts. Please read below. I
understand if you don't want to continue to deal with
this. Maybe someone else out there has a solution.

-------------------
Hmmmm. Maybe I was coming at this from the wrong
direction. I tried your latest solution (?Format
etc.).
The macro then allowed me to enter two parameters
(dates,
I presume). I entered the "from" and "to" dates. It
still bombs out ... at the last line (below):
..Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False

It bombs out with "true" too. When I comment it out,
it
doesn't bomb out but no data gets returned.

.Name = "Query from V1DATA"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.BackgroundQuery = True
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = True
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.PreserveColumnInfo = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False

If anyone wants to try, please let me know. Thanks.
Dan

Sorry I was of no help. If you type ?Format(Range
("A1"),"yyyy-mm-dd") in the
immediate window, it works okay. The curly braces
threw
me, have you tried
removing them?

Other than that, I hope someone else can help.

Thanks. Nice try. But it didn't work. I get this
error:
Compile Error: Expected: list separator or )

It seems like it doesn't like the quotation marks
around
the A1 (or A2). I'll keep playing with it but if
you
or
someone else has other suggestions, I'd appreciate
it.

Dan,

Not tested, but here's a stab

WHERE (STAY.S_ADATE={Format(Range("A1"),"yyyy-mm-
dd")}
And
STAY.S_ADATE<={Format(Range("A2"),"yyyy-mm-dd")})

I'm trying to write a macro but can't figure out
how
to
insert a variable "from" and "to" date within the
instructions.

Here's the portion of the macro that I can't
figure
out:
WHERE (STAY.S_ADATE={ts '2002-12-31 00:00:00'} And
STAY.S_ADATE<={ts '2003-04-30 00:00:00'})
