You will get that error if all the cols you are searching by are not the same datatype. Ie if the date col has some blanks or text in the first 8 rows it does not see it as a data and so will return errors like you have above.<br />
<br />
Try this first to see if you get the error:<br />
&quot;select * from [ESTROCIT$] where oc_no=38&quot;<br />
then<br />
&quot;select * from [ESTROCIT$] where oc_no='38'&quot;<br />
etc, extend it up then to see if it is the date...<br />

Reading Excel data conditionally using ADO

Active Server Pages (ASP) is Microsoft’s first server-side engine for dynamic web pages. ASP’s support of the Component Object Model (COM) enables it to access and use compiled libraries such as DLLs. It has been superseded by ASP.NET, but will be supported by Internet Information Services (IIS) through at least 2022.
