Hi
New to Delphi & programming.
Using Delphi 7 / Access db(2003) / ADO query / Jet 4.0 conn.
sDateEdit1 & 2 are AlphaSkin versions of Delphi DateTimePicker input fields, on a User Query form.
Trying to return records for wedding_date date range between these two date edit boxes and have
fallen foul of the Access # # and YYYY-MM-DD format issues.
Have got (finally...) to the sql below, but don't know how to format the sDateEdit1 & 2 fields to accept a User's date in dd/mm/yyyy format - but pass to SQL as YYYY-MM-DD format.
ADOQuery3.Close;
ADOQuery3.SQL.Clear;
ADOQuery3.SQL.Add ('SELECT Name_first, Name_Last, Wedding_Date FROM Contacts WHERE Wedding_Date BETWEEN #'+DateEdit1.Text+'# AND #'+dateEdit2.Text+'# order by wedding_date, name_last, Name_first') ;
ADOQuery3.Parameters.Clear
ADOQuery3.Open;
dbgrid1.DataSource:=dataso
If I manually type dates in as say, 2008-01-01 - 2008-06-01 it all seems to work. So hopefully, if one of you smart guys can advise how to make the DateTimePicker convert a date to that format, all should be well!
Thanks,
Den

Hi MerijnB
Tried your solution as below:
ADOQuery3.SQL.Add ('SELECT Name_first, Name_Last, Wedding_Date FROM Contacts WHERE Wedding_Date BETWEEN #'+FormatDateTime('yyyy-mm
...but on compiling get - [Error] Unit1.pas(86): Undeclared identifier: 'DateTime' (twice)
(left off your ending semi colon as this produced other errors)
Have SysUtils declared in Uses....

Hi again....
Although I mentioned they were AlphaSkin edits in the preamble (which they will be) I slipped up and posted testing code using plain Delphi edits (DateEdit1not sDateEdit1) Didn't want to confuse matters any more - so left it. I'll try the AlphaSkin version now - but I'm quietly confident in your solution.
Thanks again.

instead of DateEdit1.Text, use:
FormatDateTime('yyyy-mm-dd
