Update query criteria

max
I have about 20 different querys but they all have some fields that use
the same expression. I would like to add criteria to those fields
without opening every query individually. Plus this criteria changes
frequently. Is there a macro that I could write where I can enter the
criteria once and the macro inserts it into all the different querys?
I'm using Access 2000. Thanks Max

Are the queries used in forms? If so, why not use filters on the
queries. IOW, create your generic, show all queries and then filter the
query based on criteria.

I suppose with some exploration I could figure out a macro, but coding
is pretty straight forward. The main rules to recognize are:
Strings are encased in quotes
Dates are encased in pound signs
Numbers are not encased

LastName = 'Smith'
Today = #1/4/2004#
Amount = 1.01

Here is some sample code you can place in an event to filter a query.
It will select all sales records from today where the sales amount is
greater $100 in the Electronics dept.

Me.Filter = "[SalesDate] = #" & Date() & "# And [Dept] = 'Electronics'
And [SalesAmount] > 100"

I have an update query that runs when a report closes. I have several reports that will need to run the update query with diferent criteria. I'd like to simply make the criteria change in the report vba instead of making different queries. Here's my query sql: UPDATE Draw SET Draw.Billed = Yes WHERE (((Draw.Billed)=No) AND ((Draw.WholesalerName)="Hudson"));
