Filter in A report

C

I created a database and from the database I have to pull out birthdays every
month. Therefore, I created a filter on the report. I am new at this so I
wasn't sure if this was correct or not. Needless to say when I filtered the
Oct - Dec birthday's the filter worked correctly. Now when I try to filter
the January birthdays, I get January, October, November and December. All of
the months with 1 associated with it.

My filter is below:
((Birthday.DOB Like "[01]*"))

Can some please help me on the correct filter. I only want the birthdays in
the month of January. I used the DOB short format.

Like "[01]*" means return all values that start with either 0 or 1.

Is DOB a date field or a text field?

If it's date, you should be using

Month(Birthday.DOB) = 1

If it's text, you should be using

Birthday.DOB Like "01*"
