@drtopserv,
One of the ways I use to debug this type of error is that I generally define the criteria string outside the OpenForm method. This allows me to add a debug.print statement before the OpenForm method.
Dim strCriteria as string
strCriteria = "[Date] = #" & Format(Me.cboBigClientsOrd
& " And [ExportBankBigClientsStatu
debug.print strCriteria
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmShowAllBigClientsOrder
When I'm developing, I will generally put a breakpoint on the OpenForm line and examine the output of the print command in the immediate window before I execute the OpenForm. This way, I can make edits to the criteria string, and move the focus back to that line to get it right before opening the new form.

You need to check for valid field values. Are the fields blank perhaps? Empty date might give that kind of error.

The backslash is the escape character that forces the following character, the slash, to be read literally. Otherwise, the slash would be read as the date separator which isn't always a slash but can be a hyphen - even a space.
This way the date expression will always be, say, 2015/10/11 which never will fail neither in SQL nor ADO.
