Dates need tobe delimited with #, not quotes.

Try

#01/01/2000#

or

#01 Jan 1995#

I have created a query, all the fields from an existing table.

One field has a date format. I want to select for records in which that
field contains data.

I tried "01/01/2000", but no joy. Message was "Data type mismatch in
query
expression." This is the way to create this criteria, AFAICT in the Help
file, where it shows '01 Jan 1995' as the proper way to select for later
dates than that one. But mine doesn't work.

Thanks in advance.

Don.
