Simple Query

I'm guessing this is pretty simple however not simple enough for me.
I'm developing a database to track expenses, income, banking
transactions, etc.
I have a very simple query with four fields, date, checking account
deposits, savings account deposits, savings account withdrawals. How do
I get this query to only show dates when a transaction occurred in one
of the other three fields?
Thanks,
Don............ ..

"Other three fields"? You described four, but didn't identify the "one". If
I assume that one is "date", I would also assume that there would be no
record for the query to retrieve if there were no entry in any of the other
three fields, so a simply retrieval query would suffice... unless, as is
very likely, you want to retrieve only for a particular date range.

On the off-chance that you do have records for dates when there are no
transactions, and that you do not want to limit the date range, do the
following:

Add the table to the Query Builder

Drag down all fields into the grid.

Under each of the deposits or withdrawal fields, on a separate criteria line
(to indicate OR rather than the AND that is implied if criteria are listed
on the same line), enter Not Null. If you do want a paramter query for a
date range, under the date field (which should not be named "date" because
that is an Access reserved word), enter Between [Enter From Date] and [Enter
To Date].

If you want this query to be used as a record source for a form or report,
initiated from another form, it will be only slightly more complex... using
VBA code to construct the query or the criteria.

Thank you Larr,
I wonder how long it will take for me to figure out things like this
(just the simple things).
Thanks again,
