I am calling the below function and need to insert the settings into the query. Every time i try to add it no matter how i do it I am receiving a conversion error. The query works perfectly as it is in the code, the error only comes when i try to add the variables for the settings. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Sub BuildData()
            Dim HCChkUserRegionDate As Boolean = Convert.ToBoolean(Me.Settings("HCChkUserRegionDate"))
            Dim HCtxtTo As String = Convert.ToString(Me.Settings("HCtxtTo"))
            Dim HCtxtFrom As String = Convert.ToString(Me.Settings("HCtxtFrom"))
            Dim HCdropVenues As String = Convert.ToString(Me.Settings("HCdropVen"))
            Dim HCdropRegions As String = Convert.ToString(Me.Settings("HCdropReg"))


            If HCChkUserRegionDate = True Then
                ' Don't use module dates, use region manager dates instead


            Else
                ' Use module dates
                DataString = "SELECT UserID, CreatedOnDate, Username, FirstName, LastName, Email, PokerRegion, Street, State, PostalCode, City, DOB FROM vwFullPlayerInfo WHERE (UserID IN (SELECT userid FROM PPMSPoints WHERE (venueid = 397) AND (matchdate BETWEEN '8/30/2011' AND '9/30/2011'))) ORDER BY FirstName"
            End If
        End Sub

The settings are working correctly as the boolean on HCChkUserRegionDate is taking effect when changed.

that field contains a true/false setting. I have this working now.
