Sounds like you want a parameter query.
[VBA]
Set parameter xDate Date/Time;
Select * From Table1 Where Date = [xDate]
[/VBA]

Or if you are trying to get the date from existing data
[VBA]
Select * From Table1 Where Date = Forms![frmName].dateField
[/VBA]

I dont know about the parameter query.But problem is like that.
Lut US take example...I am pike up the date from calander and there is condition if date is "<" it will display only the record which is less then the selected date.Like that i have all the condition(<,>,=,<=,>=).
I need to write the query for that but i dont have any idea.
Please help me solve this.

Perhaps you could do it on the After_update sub for the date field. So when you click the calendar you get the date entered in the field. This fires the after_update event.

so

set the filter to Filter = Date < DateField
Then turn the filter on.

So imagine you have a sample form that follows the format below;

____________________________________________________________
----------------------------TITLE OF FORM--------------------------
lblID txtID lblCompanyAddedOn dteIN

lblCompany txtCompanyName lblCriteriaFilter txtDateFilter

____________________________________________________________

Right click on the field that you have set to be the filter or criteria (in this example txtDateFilter).
Click on the Event Tab and click the [...] button on the row that says, "After Update", select Code. You will be brought to the VBE. There enter the following code.

(based on the example I drew up)
[VBA]
Private Sub txtDateFilter_AfterUpdate()
Me.Filter = "dteIn < " & txtDateFilter
Me.FilterOn = True
End Sub
[/VBA]
That should do it.
