Try enclosing the date literals in double-quotes.

Also, mixing aggregated and non-aggregated columns in the SELECT clause
columns list without having a GROUP BY clause does not look right and may
produce incorrect or no results.

Try something like:

  SELECT OL_AGG, COUNT(DISTINCT COM_AGG)
  FROM "C:\APPL\ACOL\aggiorna.dbf"
  WHERE (DATA_AGG BETWEEN "01/12/97" AND "31/12/97")
  GROUP BY OL_AGG
  ORDER BY OL_AGG
