Help with reading datetime with DATEPART

I was hoping someone could help me with the sql syntax in trying to return the date from a datetime value. I'm trying to get the month and day and year from a datetime value in the database but I keep getting a token error. This is the code I'm using to try to read the date, from everything I've read for sql, it should work but it doesn't.

Dim sql As String = "SELECT * FROM People WHERE DATEPART(month, dtime) = '" & _
DateTime.Month & "' & DATEPART(year, dtime) = '" & DateTime.Year & '"

Dim Sqlreader As SqlCeDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader

The error I get is:
There was an error parsing the query. [ Token line number = 1,Token line offset = 82,Token in error = = ]

It doesn't seem to recognize the second DATEPART search and the = sign is a syntax error.

What am I doing wrong here?

in the "& DATEPART(year, dtime)" part, replace "&" with "and"

regards

|||Hmmm, I tried the '&' symbol and also tried 'AND' but not a lowercase 'and'.
Thanks.
