Is Date1 the End Date and Date2 the Start Date for the Range? If not, you have it backwards. Also, use between, easier to avoid mistakes like that.

Your sql statement has five single quotes - which means there is some sort of syntax error in it. I would guess that your statement should be one of these two:

sql = "SELECT * from Patients WHERE (Stat_ID = " & rss!Stat_ID & _
" AND T_Date <= '" & Date1 & "' AND T_Date >= '" & Date2 & "') ORDER BY Stat_ID "

sql = "SELECT * from Patients WHERE (Stat_ID = '" & rss!Stat_ID & _
"' AND T_Date <= '" & Date1 & "' AND T_Date >= '" & Date2 & "') ORDER BY Stat_ID "

Between may not be useful if you want to have time included
