What does you code look like?

If filtering on BeginDT then you need to make the list match, so convert it to datetime variable as well, or convert BeginDT to a date using the DATEPART() function.

Perhaps you didn't specify the dt literal?

Like @Reeza said, you need to share your code so that we can see what's going on/wrong...
