Qry Dates in a table

[Guest]

Hello Group,
I need to build a form with 3 drop down fields on it. Month, Day, and Year.
I need to qry my table and look for a month or day or year. An example,
I want to pull up records for 01/15/*, or 01/*/*. How would I do that?

Forms!MyForm!cboMonth & forms!MyForm!cboDay & Forms!MyForm!cboYear

Something on that Idea.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Dates in Access are numbers, so you can't use wildcards with them.

What you could do is add three computed fields to your query: one that uses
the Year function to return the year from the date, one that uses the Month
function and one that uses the Day function. Then, you could put the
following criteria under the Year field:

Forms!MyForm!cboYear Or (Forms!MyForm!cboYear IS NULL)

Put the appropriate criteria under the other two fields.
