Hi guys,

I have an application where I need to import an excell sheet in a dataset.

One column (Datum) in the excell sheet contains dates in the following format : d/mm/yyyy
But these are assumed to be strings I suppose?

I want to import only the rows where the date is greater than a value (=DateValue) selected by the user. The problem is the datevalue comes from a datetimepicker in a VB.NET application so the type is Date

I use the following SQL statement (as the selectcommand of my oledbdataadapter):
"SELECT * FROM [blad1$A3:F9000] WHERE Datum >= " & DateValue

This doesn't work and i think it has something to do with types (string vs date).

Can anybody help me?

thanks

PS: [blad1$A3:F9000] is the range to select from on the excell sheet. This works fine
