| re: Make Table Query Question
I'd try it this way.
Offer the user a form with a textbox in which to enter the date.
The user enters e.g. 4/15/2003 and you could put an input mask on the
control to ensure
a valid date is entered.
Then he hits a command button and you could run code like this:
docmd.runsql "SELECT InvoiceTable.* INTO " & getTableName(me!txtDate) & _
" FROM InvoiceTable where InvoiceDate = #" & me!txtDate & "#;"
Function getTableName(myDate As Date) As String
getTableName = "Invoices" & Format(myDate, "mdyyyy")
End Function
