Finally made it work!!!! a combination of lots of functions:

dim vdate as date

vdate = dateserial(year(cell), month(cell), day(cell))

sSQL = sSQL & "#" & format(vdate, "dd-mmm-yyyy") & "#"


Thanks all for the assistance

I'll try assigning the contents of the cell previously to a Date

but I'm not positive towards this... It's really ****ing me off!

I've tried both: with the format() function and also with
unambiguous
dates... doesn't work...

It's quite annoying I must say... you work out your code and doesn't
work
because of these format matters... :-(

Have you tried an unambiguous date string like "15-Jan-2005"?

Try wrapping the date in the FORMAT function so, instead of
#15/01/2005#,
you have FORMAT(#15/01/2005#,"dd-mmm-yyyy").

It just might be that VBA or SQL (or both) are trying to
recognise an
American date format rather than the English format.

Hey guys,

I'm trying to update some data in an Access DB from Excel
using ADO
&
SQL.
I'd like to update some fields with a defined criteria using
the
WHERE
clause
in SQL, but dates seem not to work...

I use the SQL string like:

UPDATE [table] SET [field1] = 'aa', [field2] = #15/01/2005#
etc... _
WHERE [field3] = 'bla' AND [field4] = #01/01/2005#

I believe that the problem is the date I'm filtering... I
copied the
whole
SQL string into access and did not work. But if I remove the
date
criteria
seems to work.

I appreciate your help.
Thanks & Bregards

Santiago
