why are you giving # in your query?

select someDate from dbo.SomeTable where ValidDateColumn >='date1' and ValidDateColumn <='date2'

I guess the fromDate and toDate are some strings...you can change them to frst DateTime format and then execute the query..Google for related stuffs..you will find many...search effectively...

Cheers

To avoid this behavior use Format function[^]:

C#

"select someDate from SomeTable where DateValue(somedate) >= #Format(" + fromdate + ",'yyyy-MM-dd')# and DateValue(somedate) <= #Format(" + todate +",'yyyy-MM-dd')#;"
