        End With
        rs.MoveNext
    Wend

you need to format the dates properly before passing the same into the database.

Agreed, though I have done most work in DAO not ADO or SQL...

This error, though not as bad as the illegal "Null" error, usually requires a type conversion when going into the RecordSet.

And, sometimes when retrieving, as well.

Just out of curiosity, are you going against an MSAccess database, and is your error getting thrown on the "rs.Open" statement? If so, you might be running across a delimiter error. In MSAccess SQL, you have to use # as your delimiter around dates, rather than a single-quote. So your statement would look like:

rs.Open "Select * from tblsupplier where date between #" & DTPicker1.Value & "# And #" & DTPicker2.Value & "#;", cn, adOpenKeyset, adLockPessimistic

If you aren't using MSAccess as your database, then nevermind.

Good luck!
