Comparing dates

I'm currently running access 2000, and writing the interface for it in VBA. I'm trying to write an SQL function to compare whether the date in a table is less than or greater than the date inputed by the user. I'm using a select statement that looks a bit like:

"Select * from tblStudent where bdate < " & Me.txtBdate.value & " and where bdate >" & Me.txtBdate.value & ";"

It returns nothing if I put the >, but not the <. Is it possible to compare dates like this in excel, or should I be doing something else?

Thanks
Eric
