    Microsoft Access doesnt seem to support "LIKE", and by the way, the date in my database is saved in this format (yyyy/mm/dd). Im getting errors running this.It doesnt seem to understand LIKE. Thanx again.

    Hi, I have checked in MsAccess itself. its working fine. as yr format is (yyyy/mm/dd). Then you have to change the query. SELECT * FROM testbl where myDate like '*/9/12'

    Thanks, Sun Rays

              Ok, I tried and loved it but the problem is that the values I have to give it are system generated(i.e the day and month I get from the database are compared to the day and month from my machine) so I cant use that method. But I tried to do this str2 = "Select * from Bithdays where WHERE (DATEPART(month, BirthDate)) = " & Date.Today.Day & AND "(DATEPART(day, BirthDate) = " & date.Today.Month But Im getting an error on "AND"

                      Yes, you can. The @mt and @dt values are parameters. Add two parameter objects to the command object, with the values for the month and day.

                      Experience is the sum of all the mistakes you have done.

                          Your solution has been morethan helpful.Now I can see the light, but the little problem I now encounter is that "No value given for one or more required parameters.".It was showing month as 14 which is today's day and 11 as the day which is the month.But after sorting the missing ")". I get this message on the GridView1.DataSource = cm.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection) GridView1.DataBind(). I checked the values how they correspond with the string, its fine and the date formate(yyyy/mm/dd) is fine.What cud be the problem now.
