Refreshing a query with a changing date

[Gricey]

Hi,

Need help refreshing this query, but I want to to refer to a variable
date, rather than the fixed date ('2004-05-19 00:00:00').

Ideally, If I could get it to reference a cell, say cell "a1", and I
can have users put the date in there.

Regards

David

Hi,

I use this quite a lot.

The way I do it is to set a cell say A1 to a recognizable
date format and then set another one (A2) to the format
yyyy-mm-dd. I then name this cell something like DateCell
and use a macro to take the text properties of A2 and put
it into the SQL.

something like

DateToQuery = Range("Datecell").Text

........"_Calls.RDATE={ts '" & DateToQuery & " 00:00:00'})"
& Chr(13) & "" &
