I've got an access backend with a date field. I'd like to be able to limit returned results based on this field. The following is the code that i've written which works great with a text field but gives an error when used with a date.

The error:
Code: 
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e07' 

Data type mismatch in criteria expression. 

/GT4Challenge/viewrecord.asp, line 22

My code:
Code: 
<HTML>
<BODY>
<br><b>Date</b></br>
<form method="POST" name="date">
<input type="text" name="date" size="16"><p>&nbsp;</p>
</p>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"><input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2">
</select>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</form>

Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
  Set RS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") 
  FilePath = Server.MapPath("database.mdb")
  strConn = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & FilePath & ";" 
  objConn.Open strConn  

SQL_query = "SELECT * FROM tbl_maintable WHERE [Date] = '"&request.form("Date")&"' Order By [shippernumber]"

RS.Open SQL_query, objConn

I used your advice and got it to work but I still have a problem. When the page initially loads it gives the error of:

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e07'
Syntax error in date in query expression '[dateentered] = ##'.
/GT4Challenge/test/viewrecord.asp, line 21

But after I put a date in and press the submit button it works fine. Is there a way to avoid this?

Code: 
<HTML>
<BODY>
<br><b>Date</b></br>
<form method="POST" name="date">
<input type="text" name="combodate" size="16" value="02/13/1980"><p>&nbsp;</p>
</p>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"><input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2">
</select>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</form>

  FilePath = Server.MapPath("database.mdb")
  strConn = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & FilePath & ";" 
  objConn.Open strConn  

SQL_query = "SELECT * FROM tbl_maintable WHERE [dateentered] = #"&request.form("combodate")&"# Order By [shippernumber]"

what you have to do is make your date form field required field. then you dont have a problem of getting the empty string...

this can be done both at the client side(using javascript) or at the server side (using asp)...whatever you wish to...

using asp, this is how you do:

Code: 
if request.form("combodate")<>"" then
SQL_query = "SELECT * FROM tbl_maintable WHERE [dateentered] = #"&request.form("combodate")&"# Order By [shippernumber]"
else
response.write "Please enter date. Go back to the form"
end if

using javascript...
please search this forum for some previous posts and i already posted the code...

Or you could make it default to today's date:

<%

TheDate=Request.Form("Date")
If TheDate="" Then TheDate=Date

SQL_query = "SELECT * FROM tbl_maintable WHERE [Date] = #"& TheDate &"# Order By [shippernumber]"

%>

One thing I have found with dates in the past is that when looking at dates in a recordset you have to re-order them to yyyy/mm/dd otherwise it does some quite strange things.
