problem with date time field ...

Hi guys,
I have an asp page that needs to show data based on date criteria.
Basically the user selects a date and the asp page should display all
records within that day.
The problem is that this field contains date and time.
My current query is as follows:
RS.Open "Select * from DB1.dbo.logs WHERE Date = '" &
Request.Form("date") & "'", dbConn, 1
How should I modify this query so that it ignores the time ?
Thanks in advance !

|||Hey Tibor,
thanks for your reply; I'm just starting using asp and sql.
Do you know a quick way to modify this query so that it skips the time
? Your links are a bit too advanced for me.
That would be VERY appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
|||To add to Tibor's response, you can use a parameterized query to improve
performance, security and mitigate the need for date formatting. Also,
consider using a fast-forward cursor instead of a keyset one unless you have
a specific reason to do otherwise.
Set command = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
command.ActiveConnection = connection
command.CommandText = _
"Select * from DB1.dbo.logs WHERE Date >= ? AND Date < ? + 1"
Set dateParameter1 = command.CreateParameter( _
"@.dateParameter1", 7, 1)
command.Parameters.Append dateParameter1
dateParameter1.Value = Request.Form("date")
Set dateParameter2 = command.CreateParameter( _
"@.dateParameter2", 7, 1)
command.Parameters.Append dateParameter2
dateParameter2.Value = Request.Form("date")
Set RS = command.Execute()
Hope this helps.
