'etc....
lsvrec.ListItems.Clear
Set list = lsvbap.ListItems.Add(, , RS!Lastname)

Change your sql statement to the following -

Dim strDate As Date
strDate = dtPicker1.Value

rs.open "SELECT * FROM tblrecord WHERE Birthday = DateValue('" & strDate & "')", cn, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic

rs.open "select * from tblrecord where Birthday = '" & DTPicker1.value & "'", cn, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
