sql access how to return between dates

Question

How do I specify a date range in MS Access? Is the below query correct? Do I have to put \"2/1/2010\" in quotes? Or do I have to do something like date(2/

Answer 1

The dates to use in select (in Microsoft) are defined as: "#"+month+"/"+day+"/" +year+"#"

the field day is a number 01,02---,31
the field month is a number 01,02 ...12
the field year is 2014, 2015 ...etc

you can build the SQL field dinamically

es. in vbscript

dt1="#"&month(date1)&"/"&day(Date1)&"/"&year(Date1)&"#"
dt2="#"&month(date2)&"/"&day(Date2)&"/"&year(Date2)&"#"

and then you can use the select in a field SQL

where the table Orders has a field named OrderDate es.

SQL="select * from Orders where OrderDate Between " & dt1 & " and " dt2

now you can access the Database
