Sorry perhaps I should clarify what I am doing so that way you will
know what I am after. I using a query that uses a BETWEEN and AND
parameter that asks the user to enter a start date and an end date.
The problem is that the parameter is on a field called ARCH_DATE that
has the date format as "09/01/04 23:59:00". I want to be able to
create a parameter query on ARCH_DATE but only asking the user to
enter a date format like "MM/DD/YY". I have tried creating a new field
where I format ARCH_DATE to "MM/DD/YY", and I have go this to work.
When I try to do a search for "01/01/04 to 04/30/04" it pulls data for
the correct data for the days and the months, the problem occurs when
it pulls the years for 01,02,03, and 04. Am I missing something in
formating the date?
Dates in Access are not *stored* with any format. That is strictly a display
property.
If you want all values falling between two dates (inclusive) provide a form for
the user to enter the two dates and have your criteria like...
BETWEEN Forms!FormName!StartDate AND DateAdd("d", 1, Forms!FormName!EndDate)
It would be a good idea to explicitly set these parameters in the query
parameter dialog as Date DataTypes as well. Access usually assumes the type
correctly, but not always.
