How to use where clause for a column with Date datatype?

Zone: dBase

Tags: Microsoft, dBase

Hi, I have a DBF file and one of its columns is called Date, and its datatype is Date (8). I used the following statement to select records for specifc date, but it does not work:

SELECT * FROM TestTable WHERE [DATE] = '20080101'

P/S: I am using a VB6 program to browse the DBF data. I am totally not familiar with dBase :p

Can anyone point me out which part is not correct and how to correct it? Thanks in advance!
