sql issue
The dates in a text field are all 6 characters long,e.g., 060107, 1019/07.
060505, etc. Some dates also appear as 000OCT, 000AUG, 000SEP, etc. I'm trying use sql code to extract records from a database. The code is as follows: vSQL = "SELECT [CUST],[SOURCE],[DEPT] from [Current] WHERE [CUST] = '" & CSTMR & "'AND ([DATE] <= '" & DateVar & "' AND mid([DATE],1,3) < '" & DateVar1 & "')" CSTMR = "9999" DateVar = "010107" DateVar1 = "000" I'm trying to extract the records that are older than 01/01/07 but am not having much luck. I thought it would work if the DATE field was all 6 characters long but I'm not finding that to be true. In Excel "080705" is less than "080707" but I can't extract these same records with the sql statement. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...... -- JT |

sql issue
When you say you're not having much luck, what does that mean? Does it
run but pull the wrong records (or no records), or does it generate a specific error? I've only used SQL from Excel a few times, but one note I'd have is that T-SQL doesn't recognize MID as a string function. You use SUBSTRING in the same way, though.
