Thank you for your answer.
Actually, I've tried with this function where I added the # symbol between the date:

GetReturn<-function(code,date)
{
db<-"C:/Test.mdb"
channel<-odbcConnectAccess(db)
ssql<-paste("select * from tblCalendarDate Where CalendarID =",code,"and DateRebal=
#",date,"#")
print(ssql)    # so as i can see what ssql contains
mydata<-sqlQuery(channel,ssql)
mydata
}
GetReturn(1,"2007-01-10")

And it works when I run simply the command GetReturn(1,"2007-03-01")

Hi Many
GetReturn<-function(code,date)
{
db<-"C:/Test.mdb"
channel<-odbcConnectAccess(db)
ssql<-paste("select * from tblCalendarDate Where CalendarID =",code,"and DateRebal >=",date)
print(ssql)    # so as i can see what ssql contains
mydata<-sqlQuery(channel,ssql)
mydata
}

This is the content of my table tblCalendarDate:
CalendarID    DateRebal
1    29/09/2006
1    10/10/2006
1    20/10/2006
1    31/10/2006
1    10/11/2006
1    20/11/2006

Actually, the channel is open but the query on the table did not perform the query correctly, here is the
result of the function when i run GetReturn(1,"2007-03-01") for example:
Something with the formatting of the date goes wrong as I think. In the table tblCalendarDate you have it like *29/09/2006* but in your function you have it as *"2007-03-01"*. Dig deeper by experimenting with the dates format. You can experiment in Access itself to see what kind of dates Access accepts.
