vb6 date variables comparing with access date fields returns always empty recordset

vb6 date variables comparing with access date fields returns always empty recordset

Post by Dirk Versave » Mon, 30 Nov 1998 04:00:00



I want to select records from a table that equal a given date.
I tried the following:

dim workdate as date

workdate = datevalue(text1.text)
Set bestelrs = besteldb.OpenRecordset("select * from " & ordertable & "
where datum = " & workdate)

this returns always an empty recordset.

- I changed separators in date varaible from / to -
- I changed french date notation dd-mm-yy to mm-dd-yy
- datum is a dbdate field in the table

Who can help me on this?

Thanks in advance,

I think you need to enclose the date in #s
Like this #25/12/98#

Access requires the # as the delimiter around literal date values.
So, strSQL = "SELECT * FROM orderTable Where datum=#" & workDate & "#"

1. comparing VB6 date variables with access date fields returns always 'not equal'

I 'm having a basic problem while writing  a vb-database application:
I want to select records from a table that match a certain date.
I tried to do this with the following code:

dim workdat as date

workdat = DateValue(Text1.Text)
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("select * from " & ordertable & " where datum like " & workdat)

this returns always an empty recordset.

- I formatted the date variable  with / and - separators
- I changed french notation dd-mm-yy to mm-dd-yy
- datum is a dbdate field in my access table (DAO 3.5)

.......but nothing seems to help.

Where is the genius that  can solve my problem?

Thanks in advance,
