Showing only current month records in a query

[Guest]

I have a D-base using a date field and I would like to know if there is a way
to show the current month records only in my query without changing the
criteria every month. Is there an expression that would help me accomplish
this?

thanks.

Add a new column to the query and put something like the following....

MonthOfData: Format([YourDateFieldNameHere],"mmyy")

Then under that (in your criteria) put...


= Format(Date(),"mmyy")


If you don't want to see this when you run the query, uncheck the display
checkbox for that column.

Rick's suggestion is one way; another - useful if you have a large
table, since it will use the index on the date/time field - would be a
criterion of

= DateSerial(Year(Date()), Month(Date()), 1) AND < DateSerial(Year(Date()), Month(Date()) + 1, 1)
