SUMMARY
When you query for Dates in a Microsoft Access database, you may receive an incorrect result or a 'Type Mismatch' error message. To query for a date in a SQL statement in Visual Basic for Windows, enclose the date in pound signs (#).
NOTE: This article shows dates written in American format (MM/DD/YYYY). For example, 12/31/1960.
MORE INFORMATION
The following example code selects every field from the Employees table in the Nwind.mdb sample database where the field Birth Date is greater than 12/31/1960. Nwind.mdb is the Microsoft Access sample database provided with Microsoft Access versions 1.0 and 1.1, and 2.0.
' Data1 is a data control. Data1.DataBaseName = "C:\ACCESS\NWIND.MDB" ' Enter the following two lines as one, single line: Data1.RecordSource = "SELECT * FROM Employees WHERE [Birth Date] > #12/31/1960#" Data1.Refresh ' The following example uses FindFirst with the same Data Control: Data1.RecordSet.FindFirst "[Hire Date] <= #9/21/1992#"
