DLookup Help Needed :( ...I have no Idea!

Hi

Im trying to do a DLookup on the following.

I have a form field called StartDate and i want to find a price from
table where Forms!Formname! StartDate BETWEEN Start2 and End2. I just
cant get the syntax correct at all, theres too many "" all over the
place.

Its the criteria field that i just cant manage to string together. Ive
got something like this:

=DLookUp("Price ","XTEST","Book ingTypeID = " & [Forms]![frmMADBooking]!
[BookingTypeID] & " AND [Start2] '" & [Forms]![frmMADBooking]!
[StartDate] & "'")

This works in a fashion but when adding the between clause instead of
the i just cant figure it out.

Any advice would be great, these quotes are just confusing the hell
out of me.

Try,

=DLookUp("Price ","XTEST","Book ingTypeID = " & [Forms]![frmMADBooking]!
[BookingTypeID] & " AND “ & “[Start2] #" & [Forms]![frmMADBooking]!
[StartDate] & "#")

Is [Start2] and [Forms]![frmMADBooking]![StartDate] are Dates?

Hi Mattie,
You haven't indicated which version of Access you're using but I do know
that Microsoft has a "Domain Function Wizard" available as an add-on for
Access97 for sure. It makes building domain functions very easy, and
displays the result so you can see that it is going to work correctly. Love
it.
You can download it here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/172183/en-us

HTH,
Don

I've written this expression for a DLookup function. It works almost alright. What I'm trying to do is type in a description and the ID field (number) populates automatically.

Instead of populating immediately it waits until I've created a new record. Am I making sense with this description. Here's...
