Hi
There are a few things I'd suggest to try and troubleshoot this:

Looking at your code, you have put your select statement into a string but where you mean to pass in the date values you have just put the text date1 and date2 i.e. instead of:

oSql="select * from customer where between(customer.date,{^date1},{^date2})"

You should have:

oSql="select * from customer where between(customer.date,{^" & date1 & "},{^" & date2 & "})"

If this is does not work then try:

oSql="select * from customer "

to ensure you have connected to the database and have records in the table.
The actual syntax of your SQL looks off to me but I have never used FoxPro so I can't really comment. Although, I would use (for SQL Server):

oSql="select * from customer WHERE (customer.date > '" &date1 &"') AND ( customer.date <'" &date2 &"')"
