I have built a query in Access using the DateSerial function to convert dates such as 20100401 to 04/01/2010. The query results work fine and the date is displayed correctly. I am now trying to enter criteria to query only certain dates. When I enter 04/01/2010 in the criteria field it displays a "data type mismatch error". I have tried entering the date criteria as #04/01/2010# and I get the same message. Ultimately I would like to create parameters to be able to enter a date range, however, I am having trouble just querying for a single date. The Date Serial expression looks like this:
Post Date: DateSerial(Left ([dbo_transaction s]![post_date],4),Mid([dbo_transaction s]![post_date],5,2),Right([dbo_transaction s]![post_date],2))
It displays the dates correctly (i.e. 04/01/2010) but it will not let me enter specific criteria.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with your Expression that I can see, and as a matter of fact, I also testing between a Date Range with the following SQL Statement and all works well, - SELECT DateSerial(Left(dbo_transactions!post_date,4),Mid(dbo_transactions!post_date,5,2),Right(dbo_transactions!post_date,2)) AS [Post Date]
-
FROM dbo_Transactions
-
WHERE (((DateSerial(Left(dbo_transactions!post_date,4),Mid(dbo_transactions!post_date,5,2),Right(dbo_transactions!post_date,2))) Between [Enter Beginning Date] And [Enter Ending Date]));
Is the [Post_Date] Field defined as Text?
@ADezii
Yes, [Post_Date] is stored as text...does the DateSerial expression convert it to a date? Also, I understand your SQL statement, but I'm not using the SQL language in Access, I am just trying to type a date (i.e. 04/01/2010) in the "criteria" field in the design view of a query...does that make a difference?

The DateSerial() Function returns a variant of SubType Date.
I'm not using the SQL language in Access
Not really sure what you mean.
@ADezii
I am not writing SQL Language literally...I am using the boxes in the Design View of an Access query where you can simply type the criteria you want without using actual SQL language

Understood, but it inevitably gets converted into a SQL Statement. Can you Upload the dbo_Transaction s Table with some sample Data in it so that I may test it?

Hello All
I'm in the middle of moving a MS Access DB to a MySql backend.
I have figured out about 90% of the problems I have faced, execpt
for this one.
I have 3 Queries, which pull records depending on a date range.
(Today,Last 7 Days,Next 7 Days) The one I'm having problems with
is the "Last 7 Days" Query.

I have a Query that consist of a lot of different sales data, and one of the

this Query I only want the salesdata for 1jan2003. How do I remove the dates
, 2jan2003 til 31jan2003 without removing them from the table, from the
Query? (Because I want to use the data for 2jan2003 etc later in other

If I enter the "Between" criteria on different lines it returns no data.
