How to extract data through ODBC with date criteria?
 

There is a table in the database with separate fields Month and Year
as integers. How to use SQL to retrieve records after a specified
date? I have tried a number of date functions e.g. DateSerial but SQL
doesn't like it. How should I specify that condition?

Let's say you want records from dates after March 2002;
you could try this:

SELECT * FROM MY_TABLE WHERE (YEAR 2002) OR (YEAR=2002
and MONTH3)

Just substitute in the proper parameters to allow
selection of any month and year.

Thanks.
I was thinking of converting the Month and Year to a date and then use
any date comparison method.
Yours is simple enough.

Sometimes simple is best, but our minds get used to
thinking too concretely: it's a date, so I have to use
date functions!
