Here is a piece of my code. It will not compile.
I want SDate to be a text string in the format of "8/10/06 00:00:00 AM"
and EDate "8/10/06 11:59:59 PM". I preffered if this values were
yesterday's dates, but they have to change daily. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

My Code:

Dim SDate As String
Dim EDate As String

Set SDate = "TEXT(Month(TODAY())&" / "&DAY(TODAY())&" / "&Year(today())
& ""00:00:00 AM"""
Set SDate = "TEXT(Month(TODAY())&" / "&DAY(TODAY())&" / "&Year(today())
& ""11:59:59 PM"""

Not sure what you want to do with these, but you need to have a triple
double-quote before the time section in order to compile.

e.g. """00:00:00 AM"""

I added the quotation mark and still doesn't compile.
I am using this to querry a database that is online. I am trying to
populate some fields so I can automate the generation of a daily
report.

I tried this variant but still does not work...Thanks for your help.

Dim SDate As String
Dim EDate As String

Set SDate = "TEXT(Month(TODAY(),mm)&" / "&DAY(TODAY(),dd)&" /
"&Year(today(),yy) & """"00:00:00 AM"""
Set SDate = "TEXT(Month(TODAY(),mm)&" / "&DAY(TODAY(),dd)&" /
"&Year(today(),yy) & """"11:59:59 PM"""

Now you have 4 double quotes. Proper syntax is for three.

What do you mean by "does not work"?

I found a way to work around it. I put the text I wanted into a cell
and them asigned the cellvalue to the variable. THANKS
