This format works - with a single quote around the value.

lt=TRANSFORM(DATETIME())
?lt

select * from tbltable where flddt = '10/14/04 08:50:37 AM'
or
select * from tbltable where flddt = '10/14/04'

I would suggest going into Enterprise Manager and playing around with queries in the Query editor.
