Default count records meeting three criteria

I am using DCOUNTA to count "records" (rows) in an Excel spreadsheet using
three criteria:
Type ="=Order"
Date =12/1/2005
Date <=12/19/2005

This works fine; however, I want to be able to use a reference to a cell
containing the date, rather than having to enter the date in the DCOUNT
criteria cells. Something like:
Type ="=Order"
Date =$B$1
Date <=$C$1
where B1 contains the start date and C1 contains the end date.

It works if I use Date =$B$1, but it won't do greater than or equal to $B$1.

Suggestions using DCOUNT or any other method would be greatly appreciated.
