Question Run query based off of dates

Here is my problem. I want to run a query based off of dates that the user inputs from combo boxes off the form. I also allow them to choose if they want to search before, after or between dates. Based on what they choose the combo box will be enabled and they choose the date. All of that is working fine. However, when the code comes to the select query, I get the dialog box after running the query asking for the dates again. I check the variable that is supposed to store the date and it is correct. Thank you in advance. here is my code all of the variables excluding valu, db and qdf are strings:

Set db = CurrentDb()
Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("qryDate")

valu = Frame14.Value 'Int. Value gained from option group
strSQl = "SELECT * FROM [ImportedData] WHERE "

Select Case valu
Case 1 'Before is selected
date1 = Combo1.Value
date2 = Combo2.Value
date3 = Combo3.Value

combodate1 = "#" + date1 + Chr(47) + date2 + Chr(47)_
+date3 + "#"
DateSQL = "CRDATE <combodate1;"

Case 2 'After is Selected
date1 = Combo1.Value
date2 = Combo2.Value
date3 = Combo3.Value

combodate1 = "#" + date1 + Chr(47) + date2 + Chr(47)_
+ date3 + "#"
DateSQL = "CRDATE >combodate1;"

Case 3 'Between is selected
date1 = Combo1.Value
date2 = Combo2.Value
date3 = Combo3.Value
date4 = Combo4.Value
date5 = Combo5.Value
date6 = Combo6.Value

combodate1 = "#" + date1 + Chr(47) + date2 + Chr(47)_
+ date3 + "#"
combodate2 = "#" + date4 + Chr(47) + date5 + Chr(47)_
+ date6 + "#"
DateSQL = "BETWEEN" + combodate1 + "AND" _
+ combodate2 + Chr(59)

End Select

totalSQL = strSQl + DateSQL
qdf.SQL = totalSQL
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryDate"

Unless it was just a typo error...you need to fix this part as well

Old
DateSQL = "BETWEEN" + combodate1 + "AND" + combodate2 + Chr(59)

To

DateSQL = " CRDATE BETWEEN " + combodate1 + "AND " + combodate2


Added Note:

You might want to be careful about using the "+" verses the "&" in your strings. If any of the variables or text values can be a number or interpreted as a number it will try to perform an addition function.
Example

If IsNull(txtMyText) Then

strMyString = "This textbox text is " & txtMyText + chr(13) + chr(10) & " This should be on another line"

Will yield:
This textbox text is This should be on another line

Because the Null gets propagated through the expression (where the + signs are) the entire expression becomes Null

The above example will also fail if the value in txtMyText can be interpreted as a number. Just a recommendation.
