I was using the DSUM formula you show below. It's just not working for me.
There must be something different. Is there anyway you can send me your
"test" file so I can take a look?

What's the formula you are using, it certainly works for me if I create
the
same, assuming you want to sum all checks with dates greater than
01/01/07
=DSUM(DataBase,"Check",E1:E2)
or to count the dates
=DCOUNT(DataBase,"Dates",E1:E2)
the D functions don't work if the source workbook is closed if you have
the
formula in another workbook

Yes I did mean greater than 1/1/2007. However, It doesn't seem to
work.
Here's what I did to check.
I created a simple database with "Date" as the first column and "Check"
As
the second column (= to all 1s). I populated dates in the date column
in
the
syntax mm/dd/yy. I then established a criteria array with one column
two
rows, First row is labeled Date. In the second row I typed the
criteria
as
you show below (i.e. ="2007-01-01"). When I hit enter the cell shows
2007-01-01. However, the cell with the Database Function shows the
#VALUE!
error.
Any suggestions?

="2007-01-01"
or
=""&TEXT(DATE(2007,1,1),"yyyy-mm-dd")
or
=""&DATE(2007,1,1)
or
="1/1/07"
I would advice against the latter 2, the first of those will display
the
serial number of the date and the latter will fail if moved to another
regional setting

Can the criteria for a database function be in the form of a Date
(e.g.
1/1/07). If so how?
