Querying using Timstamp in CSV file

[peeps]

Hello everyone,

I am working on a module that involves querying from a .csv file in VB6. The problem that I am facing is with the Date/Time datatype. I have to compare the dates but it is being converted by the driver into text data type when the column is retrieved due to which the comparison cannot be made very accurately.

I want to know if there is some way by means of which I can convert the datatype of the column obtained from the .csv file from text to Date/Time. Something like the toChar function in PL/SQL would be usefull.

I am facing the same data type conversion problem when I tried to import the data into an Access table and tried to query it.

Please send a response to this as early as possible.

I need it urgently.

Thanks
