Need help with multi syntax

Dim dtDay1 As Date
Dim dtDay2 As Date
Dim dtDay3 As Date

'once working I'll load these variables from a multi listbox.
dtDay1 = #7/22/2007#
dtDay2 = #7/24/2007#
dtDay3 = #7/25/2007#
This works:
DoCmd.OpenRepor t "frmTest", acViewPreview, , "[Weekend_Date] = " & "#"
& dtDay1 & "#"

This does not work:
DoCmd.OpenRepor t "frmTest", acViewPreview, , "[Weekend_Date] = " & "#"
& dtDay1 & "#" Or "[Weekend_Date] = " & "#" & dtDay2 & "#" Or
"[Weekend_Date] = " & "#" & dtDay3 & "#"

I get a type mismatch error but I think its poor syntax in the Where
Clause. Probably the quotes againnnnnnnn.

Simple answer: use IN in your criteria clause...it will look something like
this:

DoCmd.OpenRepor t "frmTest", acViewPreview, , "[Weekend_Date] IN (#" & dtDay1
& "#, #" & dtDay2 & "#,#" & dtDay3 & "#)"

But if you're using values from a listbox, you're probably wasting your time
trying to assign them to variables. What if the user only chooses one date?
Or chooses five? It's probably better to build the criteria clause
dynamically as you loop through the ItemsSelected collection of the list
box.

*air code*

strCriteria = "[Weekend_Date] IN (#"

With Me.lstMyDates
For each varItem in .ItemsSelected
strCriteria = strCriteria & CStr(.Column(0, varItem)) & "#,#"
' above assumes date is the bound listbox column - adjust as
necessary
Next varItem
End With

strCriteria = Left$(strCriter ia, Len(strCriteria )-2)

DoCmd.OpenRepor t "frmTest", acViewPreview, , strCriteria

You just got your quotes fuzzulated:

DoCmd.OpenRepor t "frmTest", acViewPreview, , "(([Weekend_Date] = #"
& dtDay1 & "#) OR ([Weekend_Date] = #" & dtDay2 & "#) OR
([Weekend_Date] = #" & dtDay3 & "#))"

remember that what you are doing is wrapping the text strings around
the values contained in your variables...

btw...I like parenthethezez. ..

Great solution! I kept forgetting about the 'IN' and have any times
scratched my head thinking how am I going to do this...... :)

i just thought i'd shoot out a quick email on problems i've been having with utf-8 in moving from 4.1.0 to 4.1.1. (please note that because i am using UTF-8 as my default character set, i compiled from source rather than using a premade binary) i know that i'm working with alpha software - this is more of a warning/sharing of knowledge than a complaint. BASIC ISSUE: i am unable to use UTF-8 with mysql 4.1.1 and connector/j 3.0.9.

I have a bit of code that loops through a listbox and creates a string of multiple selections and then passes that string to a SQL statement. However, I cannot seem to get a handle on the proper syntax for the WHERE clause to properly pass the string in the format of 'X' OR 'Y' to the query's criteria field. Can someone clarify this syntax or point me to a good example of using a varible string in the WHERE clause of a SQL statement?...
