Not being a VBA whizz i recorded a macro which imports data from an
external
database and when i run this macro it works great

One of the fields on this database is a date field and i want this query
to
only bring in the records based on a date the user would enter in an input
box

I've tried using input box and a variable which would hold the date and
refer to this variable in the line
"WHERE (GL_EXTRACT.RECEIVED_DATE={ts '2009-06-10 00:00:00'})" _
)

the problem i'm having is the date is in double quotes which would make
the
variable no good.

is it possible to change this code so that the user can enter a date and
the
query would bring back records based on that date?
