Access 2010 report constrained between dates - sql-server

Question

I am trying to get a form setup to launch various reports based on different criteria and I am having problems getting one of the reports that is a GroupBy/Count/Sum based SQL Data source to work between 2 unbound textboxes serving as a FromDate and a ToDate.
VBA script - calling report from form (frmRptFeedback):
Private Sub cmdPrint_Click()
If Not chkPrintPreview Then
Set Application.Printer = Application.Printers.Item(cboPrinter.Value)
End If
Dim strCondition As String
Dim strFromDate As String
Dim strToDate As String
strFromDate = txtFromDate.Value
strToDate = txtToDate.Value
Select Case opgOptions
Case 1 ' Feedback By Employee
If IsNull(cboEmployee.Value) Then
strCondition = "DateSubmitted BETWEEN '" & strFromDate & "' AND '" & strToDate & "'"
Else
strCondition = "RespEmp = '" & cboEmployee.Value & "' AND DateSubmitted BETWEEN '" & _
strFromDate & "' AND '" & strToDate & "'"
End If
Call OpenReport("rptFeedbackByEmp", IIf(chkPrintPreview, acViewPreview, acViewNormal), strCondition)
Case 2 ' Feedback By Team
If IsNull(cboTeam.Value) Then
strCondition = "DateSubmitted BETWEEN '" & strFromDate & "' AND '" & strToDate & "'"
Else
strCondition = "EmpType = '" & cboTeam.Value & "' AND DateSubmitted BETWEEN '" & _
strFromDate & "' AND '" & strToDate & "'"
End If
Call OpenReport("rptFeedbackByTeam", IIf(chkPrintPreview, acViewPreview, acViewNormal), strCondition)
Case 3 ' Feedback By Project #
If IsNull(txtProjectID) Then
strCondition = "DateSubmitted BETWEEN '" & strFromDate & "' AND '" & strToDate & "'"
Else
strCondition = "ProjectID = " & txtProjectID & "AND DateSubmitted BETWEEN '" & _
strFromDate & "' AND '" & strToDate & "'"
End If
Call OpenReport("rptFeedbackByProject", IIf(chkPrintPreview, acViewPreview, acViewNormal), strCondition)
End Select
If Not chkPreview Then
Set Application.Printer = Nothing
End If
End Sub
SQL query - initially pulling data into main SQL View (vueRptFeedback):
SELECT f.FeedbackID, f.BFID, bf.ProjectID, p.ProjectName, e2.Name AS PM, e1.Name AS RespEmp,
et.Description AS EmpType, f.SubByInits, f.DateSubmitted, f.QtyIssues,
f.EstHoursImpact, f.PlusDelta, f.Notes, f.HowResolved
FROM dbo.tblEmployee e2
INNER JOIN dbo.tblProject p
INNER JOIN dbo.tblBookingForm bf
ON p.ProjectID = bf.ProjectID
ON e2.EmployeeID = p.Scope_PM_EmployeeID
RIGHT OUTER JOIN dbo.tblEmployeeType et
INNER JOIN dbo.tblEmployee e1
ON et.EmployeeTypeID = e1.EmployeeTypeID
INNER JOIN dbo.tblFeedback f
ON e1.EmployeeID = f.ResponsibleEmpID
ON bf.BookingFormID = f.BFID
SQL query - current recordsource for report by Project ID (vueRptFeedbackByProject):
SELECT ProjectID, ProjectName, RespEmp, COUNT(FeedbackID) AS CountReports,
SUM(QtyIssues) AS SumIssues, SUM(EstHoursImpact) AS SumHours
FROM vueRptFeedback
WHERE (DateSubmitted
BETWEEN CONVERT(DATETIME, [Forms]![frmRptFeedback]![txtFromDate], 102)
AND CONVERT(DATETIME, [Forms]![frmRptFeedback]![txtToDate], 102))
GROUP BY ProjectID, RespEmp, ProjectName, DateSubmitted
ORDER BY ProjectID, RespEmp
I know my problem is in the WHERE clause as when I take it out, the report pulls fine but with all records, not the ones between those two dates. Once I can get the report to pull between the txtFromDate and txtToDate, I will probably need to change the OpenReport() to pass the txtFromDate and txtToDate as parameters instead of a Between X and Y, but I keep getting tripped up by syntax on the Recordsource of the report.

Answer 1

Fundamentally, you are conflating two SQL dialects - SQL Server SQL and MS Access SQL. There is no CONVERT() function in Access SQL syntax which appears to be the engine running the recordsource of the report and not the pass-through query, vueRptFeedback, run by MSSQL.
Consider using FORMAT() to align dates to ANSI datetime format: YYYY-MM-DD:
SELECT ProjectID, ProjectName, RespEmp, COUNT(FeedbackID) AS CountReports,
SUM(QtyIssues) AS SumIssues, SUM(EstHoursImpact) AS SumHours
FROM vueRptFeedback
WHERE (DateSubmitted
BETWEEN FORMAT([Forms]![frmRptFeedback]![txtFromDate], "YYYY-MM-DD")
AND FORMAT([Forms]![frmRptFeedback]![txtToDate], "YYYY-MM-DD"))
GROUP BY ProjectID, RespEmp, ProjectName, DateSubmitted
ORDER BY ProjectID, RespEmp
On the VBA side, you can still use Format() as many of Access's SQL functions derived from VBA functions (possibly, this is the reason Access SQL differs from its other RDMS counterparts who adhere to ANSI more due to the need to stay compatible in MS Office VBA context):
Dim strFromDate As String
Dim strToDate As String
strFromDate = Format(txtFromDate.Value, "YYYY-MM-DD")
strToDate = Format(txtToDate.Value, "YYYY-MM-DD")
...
