Dear experts,
I have a simple qn that has dumbfounded me and have not been able to find any solutions.
I create a Date field in my SQL database and have records in it. I use ADODB connection to connect to my VB program.
But this simple SQL statement refuses to work rs.Open "Select * from Testing Where Date = 03/05/2006"
Alternatives that I have tried include:-
1) putting single quotes around the date like '03/05/2006' but to no success.
2) testing other fields to know the connection works cos I could get results from them.
3) Reiterate thro the recordset
Do While Not rs.EOF
MsgBox rs!Date
rs.MoveNext
Loop
i could actually see the date 03/05/2006 appearing
what have I done wrong?

Dear all,
I have solved this problem by using this statement instead. Yes, I'm using mySQL database.
Actually, wat I wanted to do is to retrieve records based on the selected month n year.
Instead of comparing dates, I have separated the month and year and compared it as below.
sql = "Select * from Pemakaian Where Month(Date) = " & Month1 & " And Year(Tanggal) =" & Year.Text & " Order by Id"
I didn't know u could use a function on an SQL field e.g. Month(Date) like that.
As a form of appreciation for your help, I will split the points.

assuming SQL Server:
rs.Open "Select * from Testing Where Date = convert(datetime, '2006-05-03', 120) "
better even, to avoid problems when time portion is stored in the field:
rs.Open "Select * from Testing Where [Date] >= convert(datetime, '2006-05-03', 120) AND [Date] < dateadd(day, 1, convert(datetime, '2006-05-03', 120)) "
