I am trying to retrieve data from my access table based on Date column. My requirement is to display everything greater than the certain value. I am trying to cast my value, which is a string using Format &CDate function with datetime data type and it throws out as Overflow.
Here's query :
Select * from Events
Where Events.[Date] > cDate(Format("20130423014854","yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss"))
Sample Date Record Value from Table : 2013-04-23 13:48:54.0
Events.[Date] is a Date/Time type field in access
How can I fix this ?

Use the DateValue() function to convert a string to date data type. That's the easiest way of doing this.
DateValue(String Date)
In Access, click Create > Module and paste in the following code
Public Function ConvertMyStringToDateTime(strIn As String) As Date
ConvertMyStringToDateTime = CDate( _
Mid(strIn, 1, 4) & "-" & Mid(strIn, 5, 2) & "-" & Mid(strIn, 7, 2) & " " & _
Mid(strIn, 9, 2) & ":" & Mid(strIn, 11, 2) & ":" & Mid(strIn, 13, 2))
End Function
Hit Ctrl+S and save the module as modDateConversion.
Now try using a query like
Select * from Events
Where Events.[Date] > ConvertMyStringToDateTime("20130423014854")
--- Edit ---
Alternative solution avoiding user-defined VBA function:
SELECT * FROM Events
WHERE Format(Events.[Date],'yyyyMMddHhNnSs') > '20130423014854'
cdate(Format([Datum im Format DDMMYYYY],'##/##/####') )
converts string without punctuation characters into date
Basically, this will not work out
Format("20130423014854","yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss")
the format function will only work if your string has correct format
Format (#17/04/2004#, "yyyy/mm/dd")
And you need to specify, what datatype of field [Date] is, because I can't put this value 2013-04-23 13:48:54.0 under a General Date field (I use MS access2007).

select date in between
If you need to display all the records after 2014-09-01, add this to your query:
SELECT * FROM Events
WHERE Format(Events.DATE_TIME,'yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss') >= Format("2014-09-01 00:00:00","yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss")
