Dates in a SQL Statement
 

Hello,

I'm using ADODB to connect to an ACCESS database I've set up. I have a few
fields that are Date types and I send the SQL statement via a string, the
thing is I'm getting errors when trying to use Variables that are dates in
the string.

My SQL Statement

strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblMain WHERE [fldDateFrom] = '" & dateFrom & "'"

it'll turn my variable dateFrom into just a string. So doesn't match up when
it comes to putting this value into the database.

Anyway to make sure this gets put in as a Date type?

Sorry If that's unclear.

Dates in a SQL Statement
 

I would use the following:
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblMain WHERE [fldDateFrom] = '" &
Format(dateFrom,"yyyy-mm-dd") & "'"
