hi ian

that can't be right....  those would be plain old literal character
strings, not dates

ryan, it seems that view_date is the variable being passed to the query, so
all you have to do is make sure it is converted to a legitimate date format
so that the query is evaluating dates and not character strings or
something

i don't know ASP but you should have some kind of standard date format
function you could apply to view_date before you pass it to the query

if necessary, you could then do a cast/convert on it in the database...

   select * from tblEvents
    where cast(   %???(view_date)???%   as datetime)
          between dteEvStart and dteEvEnd
