Year(Date()) not working as expected

[Jimmy]

I'm trying to run a query that will show only records where the year in a
date field equals the current year:

SELECT tblSideJob.Side JobID, tblSideJob.Date FROM tblSideJob WHERE
(((tblSideJob.D ate)=Year(Date( ))));

This does not display any records at all. The field tblSideJob.Date is a
date/time field

1) That's because Year(Date()) does not return a Date datatype value,
but rather a variant (Integer) datatype value, i.e. 2007 is not a
date. See VBA help.

Change the Where clause to:

WHERE Year(tblSideJob .Date)=Year(Dat e())

2) Date is a reserved Access/VBA/Jet word and should not be used as a
field name.
For additional reserved words, see the Microsoft KnowledgeBase article
for your version of Access:

109312 'Reserved Words in Microsoft Access' for Access 97
209187 'ACC2000: Reserved Words in Microsoft Access'
286335 'ACC2002: Reserved Words in Microsoft Access'
