When I have a date parameter for an ORacle retrieval, I have to convert the date to with dtoc() function first:

local cDate
cDate = dtoc(somedate)

My remote view SQL looks like:

...where Ora_DateField = ?cDate and ...

My SQL Passthru construction would be:

"... where Ora_DateField = '" + cDate + "' and ..."
