Create report between two dates.

[spcscooter via AccessMonster.com]

I am trying to create a report that returns dates between two dates. The
criteria that I am using works in the following...

I have a column in a query that states in the field "Completion Date" and it
points to the CPR table.
When I use Between [Start Date] and [End Date] I get the dates between.

The field that I need it to work in is "Expiration Date: DateAdd("yyyy",2,
[Certification Date])" is stored and calculated in the query. The Between
[Start Date] and [End Date] criteria doesn't work with this field.

Can someone tell me how to make this work or what to do in order to get what
I need.

Thank you very much. I don't know what I would do if it weren't for you all.

"Doesn't work" is subject to wild speculation ... are you saying that Access
fails without an error message? or maybe that your PC begins smoking? or
hair grows on your knuckles? <g>

I'm not exactly clear on what you're working with, so if I've
misinterpreted...

It sounds like you have a field in your query named [ExpirationDate], a
calculated value. It sounds like you want to find [ExpirationDate] values
between a user-entered 'start' date and a user-entered 'end' date.

If I were doing this, in the Selection Criterion "cell" beneath
[ExpirationDate], I'd put something like:

Between # & [Enter a start date] & # And # [Enter an end date] & #

If you'd like to avoid messing with the "#" signs, you could try setting
these two parameters as date/time-type parameters, in addition to using them
as selection criteria.

It returns nothing when I switch to datasheet view. You correct about It
sounds like you have a field in your query named [ExpirationDate], a
calculated value. It sounds like you want to find [ExpirationDate] values
between a user-entered 'start' date and a user-entered 'end' date.

I am kinda new to this so if you could explain to me what the # is used for
and how to change the parameters I would really apreciate it.

Thank you for responding so quickly

Since you are using a calculated field in your query, Access may not
correctly interpret that it is a date-type value. The "#" is used as
delimiters around date-values. Similarly, the double-quote (") is used
around text-values as a delimiter.
