Inputting age range through text boxes to generate report

[Stoic]

Hi,
I have database in access 2007 with an 'Age' field. Now I a Form with two fields (Beginning Age and Ending Age) and a control button that when I entered the two ages in both fields and click the control button, it will generate a report of individuals that fall within that age range.

Any help on this?
Thanks

You have a very general question; thus, the best I can do is tell you to use a "Select" query and I'd more than likly use the "Between" conditional or ">=" "<=" in some manner depending on the table design.

One must assume, as you've left out most of the important details of the question, that you have a report built on a data source which has some sort of an [Age] field. You also have [FromAge] and [ToAge] controls on your form.

In such a situation you can run code behind the Command Button which :

1. Formulates a Criteria string using code similar to :
   

   strWhere = "([Age] Between #%F# And #%T#)"
   strWhere = Replace(strWhere, "%F", Format([FromAge], "m\/d\/yyyy")
   strWhere = Replace(strWhere, "%T", Format([ToAge], "m\/d\/yyyy")

   See Literal DateTimes and Their Delimiters (#) for help with formatting dates for SQL.
2. Open the report passing the criteria in your call using code similar to :
   

   Call DoCmd.OpenReport(ReportName:=rptXXX, _
                         View:=acPreview, _
                         WhereCondition:=strWhere)

This should open your report with only valid records included.
