			You have a typo.  Below corrects the typo.
WHERE ((([ALID0001].[LABEL_ID]) Like "*" & [Enter date]& "*" and
(ALID0001.LABEL_ID) LIKE "*"& [Enter your search items] & "*"));
:
I used your example as a guide line, the query askes for the "enter your
search items", Enter date, and then it asks for ALID0001. LABLE_ID.
Please review my query and tell me where I made my error.
Thanks,
SELECT ALID0001.date, [Enter your search items] AS [search items],
Right([label_id],Len([Label_id])-53) AS Items
FROM ALID0001
WHERE ((([ALID0001].[LABEL_ID]) Like "*" & [Enter date]& "*" and
(ALID0001.LABLE_ID) LIKE "*"& [Enter your search items] & "*"));
:
This should do it --
SELECT [Enter date - 01/02/04] AS [Date scanned], [Enter your search item -
C04] AS [Search item], Right([YourDataField],Len([YourDataField])-53) AS Items
FROM YourTable
WHERE (((YourTable.YourDataField) Like "*" & [Enter date - 01/02/04] & "*"
And (YourTable.YourDataField) Like "*" & [Enter your search item - C04] &
"*"));
:
I am unable to seperate scanns or the tables. this is an imported file and
the way you see it is the way it comes in.  Somewhere within the scanned
items will be the C0* record. I am at a loss.
:
Your table is wrong. Use a separate entry for each item scaned.  Two ways to
do it.
tblScanItems--
Item - text field
ScanDate - datetime field
Optional
ScanTime - datetime field
Scanner - text - who done it
The other way.
tblScan--
ScanID - autonumber - Primary Key
ScanDate - datetime
Scanner - text
tblScanItems--
ScanID - number - long interger
Item - text field
Create a one-to many relation tblScan.ScanID  to tblScanItems.ScanID
:
I want to sort by the "C04" part of the records.  The data connected to the
Datestamp and DateScanned can be a string of entries or just one, with the
"C*" record in it.
Example
Datestamp 11:00  DateScanned 08/10/05 Items scanned  C04, 3333, 222, and 888
Datestamp 12:00  DateScanned 08/10/05 Items scanned  C03, 3030, and 202
Datestamp 12:01  DateScanned 08/10/05 Items scanned  1010, and C04
Datestamp 1:00    DateScanned 08/10/05 Items scanned  1111, C04, and 20
Datestamp 1:20    DateScannec 08/10/05 Items scanned  C40, 77777, and 15
I am not sure what other information is required to get this to work.
but in this example, the query should show a date of 08/10/05; C04, with the
list of Items scanned; 3333,222,888,1010,1111,20,77777 and 15.
