date/time query

Each record has a name field and seven date/time fields. These fields are
used to record when a review date is. I need to create a query that will
show if any of the date/time fields are older than the current date. The
date/time fields are called 'desreview1' 2 etc. I need to be able to see
which person is out of date on each field. (if all that makes sense)

cheers baz

Sounds like an not Normal table. Read about db design and Normalization
in _Database Design for Mere Mortals_, by Hernandez.

Use the IIf() function

IIf(desreview1 > Date(),"review1",
IIf(desreview2 > Date(), "review2",
IIf(desreview3 > Date(), "review3")))

Continue for all columns. Sheesh...
