Query Prompt acting crazy...

I have a query that has a prompt for date as

Between [Enter Start Date - Format "MM/DD/YYYY:] And [Enter End Date -
Format "MM/DD/YYYY:]

This database is hosted on a share drive. About half of my user's are
ok with the report that has this query the other half when the prompt
comes up for the first sections the box displays

Enter Start Date - Format "MM/DD/YYYY:,2

its putting a ",2" in for some reason. How can some Access Installs
understand this and the report shows fine and retrieves records and
others it bombs on?

Thanks,

Dave

If, as I read this, you have multiple users concurrently logged in to your
front-end or monolithic database, you significantly increase the risk of
database corruption. I can't say if the effect you are seeing is a result of
having multiple users concurrently logged in.

You should, in any case, split the database into front end (queries, forms,
reports, macros, and modules) with a copy on each user's machine, with
tables linked to tables in a shared back end (tables, relationships, and
data) in a shared folder.

That _may_ also clear up the problem.

I found that the machines having the issues are running Access 2000 and
the machines that are fine are running 2003. I didnt think that this
issue would be version related. But once I upgraded the Access 2000
machines to Access 2003, all is well.

I'm still going to split it as you suggested..

Thanks,

Dave

I have an address database and I want to have the query prompt for me to enter an expression that will bring up ALL names begining with same first ltr for individual page on my report. I am familiar with prompt in query design but it doesn't bring up all A's or B's individually. If I type in complete name it brings them up. If I go in query design and say "B*" it works fine. But I want to be able to do it on the prompt. Thanks for assist...

I have a paramter query that wants either of 2 date fields in a table to be before a certain date. Select * from tblExample where Date1 < or Date2 < When I open this query, it prompts me twice for dtCutoff. I've verified I'm using the same spelling and capitalization. Is there a way to make it only prompt once?

Hi, I have a user that used the Query Wizard to create a query in Access. Now she claims that her master table is missing all the data that was excluded from the query. Can you create anything other than a select query using the Wizard? What do you think happened to her data? I am working remotely until Friday, so I can't get down to her office and check out what she did.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
