Data type mismatch in criteria expression [C#, MSAccess]

Kermit

Hi.
Here's the problem.
I use C# application [forms] to access MSAccess database.
I want to get id's of all records containing some phrase and order results by date (a field in the table).

here's the code:
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand("select id, endDate from audits where objectId ='" + (int)data[0] + "' order by endDate DESC", conn);
try
{
conn.Open();
OleDbDataReader aReader = cmd.ExecuteReader(); <-- here i get error*
}
(...)

* error: "Data type mismatch in criteria expression"
If I delete '+ "' order by endDate DESC' part of the query it works.

How to order my results by date?

I haven't seen this in a query before - (int)data[0] - int is obviously data type. What are you trying to do?

data is a array of objects. I'm casting object to int.

I was trying to get id's of all rows that contain certain data, and order them by date.

Try putting the array value in a parameter first and then into your query. Also easier to debug. HTH.
