Problems with DATE data type
 

Hi!!!

I've got a little problem with the next macro in Excel.

The problem is that I must look for some information in a data base
using as filter a specific day an hour in the year.

I get the date and the hour using a form and then the macro called
"Busqueda" receives the value.

I've programmed the macro using MSQuery just to see the necessary code
and the problem has appeared when I've tried to include the param
called "Dia" in the SQL code.

I've tried using " & Dia & " but it doesn't work and I don't know how
to include my param "Dia" in the SQL code.

Any idea????, I'm in a hurry and whatever kind of help would be a
pleasure.

Thank you in advance, David.

Problems with DATE data type
 

I think Dia is a serial number where the SQL code needs a text
formating (don't remember but may be something like #MM-DD-YYYY# needed
or similar)

so you will need a Format(Dia,"mm-dd-yyyy") to convert the date in
the regular syntax for SQL.

Tou should try to ask for a fixed date in a string, see if it works

then try to make a dynamic string by "...." & Format(...)
(use a msgbox to see if ok)

then add this dynamic string in the SQL request


this is the "pro-procedure" to be sure and keep time

As I recall, it is pretty flexible, and I tend to use an unambiguous format,
such as

Format,Dia,"dd-mmm-yyyy")
