Problem with Query Date Parameter Selection

I have attempted to resolve a problem regarding erroneous output using
a Between [Beginning Date] And [Ending Date] parameter on several
Access 97 queries, but to no avail. The queries are used for report
output and regardless of the beginning and ending dates entered, the
reports show all activity including before and after the dates
entered.

There is a frmAccount and two subforms sfrmPurchase and sfrm Sales. In
order to isolate costs for each collectively, both Purchase and Sales
have Beginning and Ending Date parameters as the criteria on the query
grid. It seems that using the DSum expression causes the query/report
to ignore the date ranges and simply include all account activity. One
of the query expressions is:

Purchases: DSum("[Sales]","tblSales ","[SalesID] = " & [AcctID])

Actually, there are six similar expressions on the query. I have take
another more simplistic approach and just used the fields from the
three tables like:

UnitsSold
SalesPrice
[UnitsSold]*[SalesPrice]
etc.

Going this route does work in providing data based on the Between and
Ending dates selected only, but the output on the reports is garbage
because it apparently lacks the Where type clause that DSum expression
provides. So after trying several different methods and none proving
successful, I ask for anyone's assistance to resolve this problem.
Thanks, Dalan

You could possibly try to put the Dsum in one query and the parameters
in another query. Then create one final query from both of them to
use. Instead of putting the parameters in a query, you could put
fields on a form to use as your parameters instead. Just a couple
ideas.

Having searched the archives regarding a Delete Query, I found nothing specific to my need, although there seems to be a plethora of ideas and suggestions on queries in general. I have used Delete Queries based on date selection parameters and those have performed fine, but perhaps a parameter is not what I should use for the following. Simply, I need to provide a method by which to query two fields and delete all records associated with...

I have a form where a user enters a date that I will then base a query on. In the past, I have simply placed Forms!! into the criteria for a query and it runs as long as the form is open. The recordset is then filtered based on what was entered in the form. However, this strait forward approach seems to break when the form value to be passed to a query is a date. I have a format and input mask of ShortDate placed on the form. It is an...

My application has a table that contains information on buildings. The building data comes from another database and is imported from a spreadsheet into my application. Originally, I thought that when a building data update is available, I would simply delete the existing data and import the new data into the table.
