get a date value with dmin in access 2013
hi
i have in microsoft access a vba code that is checking (when i open the form) if there is a date in a date field that the date has been passed or it's the the today's date, and is so i show some msgbox. but for some reason i get every time when i open this form a msgbox with this value 00:00:00 (and there is no date like this in my date field), so why i get this date and how can i Bypass this problem
this is my code

thanks alot for your comment
in most records the reminderdate field is null (there is date value on the reminder field just if i need to remind something)
the solution isn't fixing the problem and i get still the date value 00:00:00

BTW, a simpler way to write that logic is:
d = NZ(DMin("ReminderDate", "MecirahIncomeDetailsT", "ReminderDate<=#" & Date() & "#"),Date())
Jim.
d = NZ(DMin("ReminderDate", "MecirahIncomeDetailsT", "ReminderDate<=#" & Date() & "#"),Date())

Removing the 'On Error Resume Next' line may also help understand the issue as gustav succinctly summarised.

Many thanks to all of you, I was not here a good few hours, so I did not see your comments so I ignored until now, I am very sorry about this. Anyway thanks to you wonderful people I found the solution. And I split the points between you all, you deserve a lot more of these points, but it's what I have :)
this the code that i write and it's working excellent - A combination of some answers

d = DMin("ReminderDate", "MecirahIncomeDetailsT", "ReminderDate<=#" & Date & "# And Not(IsNull(ReminderDate))")
If Not IsNull(d) Then MsgBox d

We're just glad you found a solution. No need to apologise at all.
Good luck with the rest of your project.

Are there any records in the table that do not have a value within the [ReminderDate] column?
The returned value of 00:00:00 seems to indicate that you do have at least one value that is blank/null.
Maybe you could change your code to take account of this, & to check that the DMin() function is working as you intended:
d = DMin("ReminderDate", "MecirahIncomeDetailsT", "ReminderDate<=#" & Date & "# And ReminderDate>#00:00:00#")
BFN,
