Query Date parameters promting order question

[jmev7]

I had a query with a criteria in a date field reading ">[DATE] And
<[Date2]", and when run, it correctly prompted first for the [DATE]
param, and then for the [Date2] param. I then created functions to
replace these params using an input box so that I could control the
default date in each case (based on the current day of week and other
variables). Each function works correctly, but for some reason, the
first prompt is for [Date2], and the second prompt is for [Date],
which should come first. Can someone explain how parameters are
presented to the user, and why I'm getting param2 first now?

Thanks.

No idea, to be honest, but if you wrap the whole call to the query in a
function/sub, and set the parameters (still from the user with InputBox)
by code, the problem can be solved.

Works well with action queries, not so well with SELECT (what to do with
the recordset, then?)

Acutally, I have considered this, and just executing the SQL statemet
from within the function, but the user appears to want to be able to
modify the query using the QBE, and this would not be possible from
within a coded SQL statement. I might do it anyway and say, "TOUGH!",
but I would like to stick around for a little while longer :-)
