remote query & date range?
 

Hi,

I'm using Excel 2003 to query a SQL 2000 database. The table I'm querying
has a date field, ship_date, and I'd like to be able to have the user of my
query specify ship dates before a selected date.

Here's what I've tried:
I have a simple form with a text field and if the user enters a date in the
text field I convert it to text with the format() function and save it in a
public variable. Then I concatonate that to my SQL query string like this:

strSQL = strSQL & "ship_date < '" & txtShipDate & "') "

(the right paren. is closing the where clause)

This works in that it doesn't give me any syntax errors but it doesn't work
in that it returns no records. I do get the field headers though. Any
ideas what I'm doing wrong here? Is there a more elegant solution? This
format works fine in the SQL Query Analyzer.

Thanks in advance,
Linn
