for a start, turn on the macro recorder and apply your filter.

See how it records the criteria.

Also, your dates are ambiguous - are the mm/dd/yy or dd/mm/yy. VBA is
looking for mm/dd/yy

I am using excel 97. I am trying to filter a worksheet of data which
contains a column of a time/date in this format: 02:05 03/11/05

I want to be able to create a custom filter in VBA of: = 07:00 03/11/05
or
<= 0659 04/11/05 but for some reason when I do it will not work. The
formatting of the column is 'GENERAL', however as a matter if interest
when a
cell of this type is clicked on the format changes to 'CUSTOM' dd/mm/yyyy
hh:mm

Can someone come up with code as a solution for me, please?
