date based criteria

got another one for you guys out there, and thanks again for the help
with my "counting question"

this time i'm looking to select records based on date, the database
stores the date as mm/dd/yyyy time am/pm ie: 08/11/2004 2:42:28 PM and
unfortunately the field is called date

this much I know if i want to select based on date:

select from table where [date]=

it's my understanding that i need to put the name of the date field in
[] in order to prevent it from confusing it with functions etc...
however my problem is this

how do i get it to select records from the month of december i have
tried [date]='12/*/2004' and [date]='::12/*/2004::' and many other
variants that i have read about on various web sites, but it never seems
to work once again the answer is probably not as complicated as i
believe it to be, but i just can't seem to find the right answers when i
hit the search engines, so if someone can explain how this should be
done, that would be greatly appreciated

thanks

What database? It's always relevant. Type and version.
stores the date as mm/dd/yyyy time am/pm ie: 08/11/2004 2:42:28 PM and
Unless the field is a character field, the datetime is NOT stored like that.
it may be displayed like that, but it is not stored that way. The details of
how it is stored depends on the database.
unfortunately the field is called date
Yes, that is bad.

this much I know if i want to select based on date:

select from table where [date]=

it's my understanding that i need to put the name of the date field in
[] in order to prevent it from confusing it with functions etc...
Correct, unless you can change the name of the field. More reserved keywords

Again, it depends on the database, but basically you want to do something
like:

where [date] >= Dec.1 and [date] <= Dec 31

Now the dates will not look like that. I can't tell you how to specify the
dates until you tell us what database you are using. In the meantime, read
up on dates here:

between your example and the links I managed to figure it out:

([Date] >= #12/1/2004# and [Date] <=#12/31/2004#)

gives me everything for december

thanks again, once again it wasn't as hard as i was making it out to be,
once someone who knew what they were doing pointed me in the right direction

I have a query set up to gather together data between two specified dates. Shown in the query column as: Between #24/09/2004# And #01/10/2004# Is it possible to enter several different date ranges, ie between 24/09/2004 and 01/10/2004 together with 05/10/2004 and 07/10/2004 ? If I enter the "Between" criteria on different lines it returns no data.
