Condition by date entered by the user

[Guest]

Hi,
Could someone please help me?
I have a make table query based on three different tables. In one of these
tables there is the purchase date field. I would like the query to ask the
user, which date range of the records should be used to make the new table.

I added the Condition to the query field such as “Like[Please enter the
date]&â€*.*â€, to ask the user to enter the date but the query does not produce
any results. And this does not allow entering the range of dates either.

How can I solve this problem?
Regards,
Aniko

Thanks Allen,
It works, but why does it ask for start date twice?

Presumably you used the Method 1 in the article.
Did you declare the parameter?

It should ask once only if the spelling is exactly the same.
Perhaps you used the expression twice, once with a space?
Or perhaps your query is based on another query which also has its
parameter?

Or perhaps this query is being called by a subreport or other object that is
running multiple times?

Thanks Allen, this was a copy and paste error of my behalf.
Now it works well.
