[RESOLVED] Newbie problem using executeReader

[86cw86]

Firstly i am using VB2005 and MS Access 2002. Ok so I am using the executeReader to attempt to read all records between two sets of dates.

However, i only appear to be getting one record. When i then try contactReader.nextResult, it returns false.

I have double checked and there is definatly more than one record in that time frame. Im not sure if i am doing something incorrect since I am a newbie.

sql = "select * from dailyTable where recDate BETWEEN #" & startDate & "# AND #" & endDate & "#"
        Dim command As New OleDbCommand(sql, conn)

        conn.Open()
        Dim contactReader As OleDbDataReader = command.ExecuteReader()
        contactReader.Read()
        MsgBox(contactReader("grossSales").ToString, MsgBoxStyle.AbortRetryIgnore)
        MsgBox(contactReader.NextResult, MsgBoxStyle.Critical)

        conn.Close()

The sql string comes together as:

"select * from dailyTable where recDate BETWEEN #19/03/2007# AND #25/03/2007#"

I know the date appears to be in the wrong format, i.e dd/mm instead of mm/dd, but this has not been a problem in the rest of my program.

VB seems to convert it to this format when using SQL statements, since endDate =#3/25/2007# when not in the SQL statement.



Many thanks in advance
