Hi!

I have to be able to select month,year and if it is a MAY I ned to run my query for the whole month of MAy,2008.

I am going to use Parameters Forms!FormName!txtDate for each of the few querie that are involved.

I can’t figure out pretty way to have May, 2008 selected from the drop down or typed into a text box and have query know it is from 1/5/2008 to 5/31/2008.

Thanks

You could add two calculated columns to your query:

M: Month([DateField])

and

Y: Year([DateField])

where DateField is the field you want to filter on, and set the criteria to Month(Forms!FormName!txtDate) and Year(Forms!FormName!txtDate), respectively.

How do I populate Year column?

I have a Date column already that has date in a format 1/1/2005 to today’s date.

So I can let them pick dates from the combobox in fomat like May, 2008 but it will suppose to correspont to my Date field and translate from 5/1/2008 to 5/31/2008
