    sql error when day part of date starts with a zero

    Hello
    I am using VB 6 to program a Access 2003 type database file. This is the code that creates the sql expression

    Code:
    ssql = "select * from tblraw where (tblraw.rawdate=#" & thisdate & "#) and (tblraw.rawcn=" & Trim(Str(thiscow&)) & ") order by tblraw.rawdate,tblraw.rawtime"
    Typically the sql string looks like this :

    select * from tblraw where (tblraw.rawdate=#10/10/2012#) and (tblraw.rawcn=2482) order by tblraw.rawdate,tblraw.rawtime

    the above statement returns 12 records, which is correct

    however if the string looks like this :
    select * from tblraw where (tblraw.rawdate=#09/10/2012#) and (tblraw.rawcn=2482) order by tblraw.rawdate,tblraw.rawtime
    or this :
    select * from tblraw where (tblraw.rawdate=#9/10/2012#) and (tblraw.rawcn=2482) order by tblraw.rawdate,tblraw.rawtime

    then zero records are returned, although they exist in the database file. I find this most unfair.



    Thank you for any help in advance

    John

    Field rawdate is a date/time type? Query should work.

    Is the criteria MM/DD/YYYY?

    Hello
    rawdate is defined as date/time field
    basic Date command returns dd/mm/yyy
    the Access date fields are dd/mm/yyyy with leading zeros

    the query only seems to work with dates that have no leading zeros

    a date like 09/10/2012 returns no records

    Thanks
