[R] sqlQuery with date attribute

[Abderrazzak MANY]

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")
