bruce,
looks to me like you're overcomplicating your query. if you're trying to
retrieve records in the classes table where id = #form.classsel# your
query would be "select * from classes where id = #form.classsel#". i
don't really understand why you need the date comparison, so maybe i'm
missing something. btw, you insert odbc access dates like this: "insert
into classes (classdate) values
(#createodbcdate(createdate(2002,02,06))#)" and output them like this:
#dateformat(query_name.classdate,"mmmm d, yyyy")#.

Subject: Formatting a Date in MS SQL Access Query...Try Again
I'm trying to format a date within a SQL query against an Access
database.
In Oracle you can say TO_DATE(date,mask) but that function doesn't
exist
in Access. What function is there in Access to do this?
Here is the query that doesn't work:
<cfquery datasource="abb" name="qSelClassInfo">
SELECT *
FROM classes
WHERE TO_DATE(ClassDate,'mm/dd/yy') = TO_DATE((
SELECT ClassDate FROM classes
WHERE id=#Form.ClassSel#),'mm/dd/yy')
</cfquery>
Note that Access stores date and time info in the same field. So I'm
trying to compare just the date portion since several classes can
occur
on the same day.
