The query has the following sql string: ('SELECT * FROM CAL WHERE DATE_INI BETWEEN "DATEVALUE1" AND "DATEVALUE2" '); It always returns an error. Probably there's someting wrong with the code. Can someone please help?

Can someone please help? Thanks Jorge What Database ? Syntax Error ? What format are the dates in. ? Does Where date_ini >= "Datavalue1" and date_ini <= "Datevalue 2" ? Are Datevalue1 & 2 being replaced by actual dates correctly ?

Is what you posted the actual SQL you are executing? What database are you using? What is the datatype of the DATE_INI column? -- Bill (TeamB) (TeamB cannot respond to questions received via email) Back to top Jorge Ferreira Guest Posted: Tue Jan 06, 2004 4:08 pm    Post subject: Re: SQL Query - BETWEEN command First of all, thank you for your answer. The DATE_INI column is a Date Field. Yes, the DATEVALUE1 and DATEVALUE2 are string literals. Before the query i transform the values to string through DateToStr function for they are Date in the form (DatePickers). Do you have any idea?

The Field "Data_nascimento" is a Date one. 'SELECT Nome, Data_nascimento from Cal WHERE Data_nascimento Between 12-01-1975 AND 31-12-1975' and with this command (is i run it in DataBase Desktop), I get the following error : "Type mismatch in expression" witch is the same i get in Delphi, naturally. If i change the SQL Statement to: 'SELECT Nome, Data_nascimento from Cal WHERE Data_nascimento Between (12-01-1975 AND 31-12-1975)', I get the error: "Invalid use of keyword" I tried almost anything that i remenbered and i'm still stuked in this.
