Hi Douglas,
Thanks for your reply
that’s right, I missed that part
actually I replaced it ... I putted a values between InDate and OutDate in the table of dates.
I thought that will be enough ... sorry for misunderstood.
Thanks Allen and Douglas,
you are really great and your help is highly appreciated 
best regards
 
Your Query1 is incorrect. It should be something like:
SELECT DatesTbl.Dates, Items.ItemName, Items.Amount
FROM DatesTbl, Items
WHERE DatesTbl.Dates Between Items.[InDate] And Items.[OutDate]
ORDER BY DatesTbl.Dates, Items.ItemName;
(I think you missed step 3 in Allen's instructions)

thanks Douglas  for reply
kindly find below the SQL's,
Query1:
SELECT DatesTbl.Dates, Items.ItemName, Items.Amount
FROM DatesTbl, Items
ORDER BY DatesTbl.Dates, Items.ItemName;
Crosstab Query:
TRANSFORM Sum(Query1.Amount) AS SumOfAmount
SELECT Query1.ItemName
FROM Query1
GROUP BY Query1.ItemName
ORDER BY Format([Dates],"dd/mm")
PIVOT Format([Dates],"dd/mm");
thanks and best regards

Thanks Allen for your respond,
it works great but with the following error:
data in table is as I previously posted
ItemName     InDate     OutDate     Amount
--------------------------------------------------------------
Item1        01/09      05/09       7
Item2        03/09      07/09       4
the result I get is:
Query1_Crosstab ItemName Total Of Amount 01/09 02/09 03/09 04/09 05/09 06/09 07/09 08/09 09/09 10/09 28/08 29/08 30/08 31/08 
Item1 98 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 
Item2 56 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 
the result I must get is:
ItemName Total Of Amount 01/09 02/09 03/09 04/09 05/09 06/09 07/09 08/09 09/09 10/09 28/08 29/08 30/08 31/08 
Item1 35 7 7 7 7 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
Item2 20 0 0 4 4 4 4 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

			So you first need to create a record for each date between your InDate and 
OutDate?
1. The dates have to come from somewhere, so you will need a table of dates. 
Create a table with just one field of type Date/Time. Make it the primary 
key. Save the table with a name such as tblDate.
2. Enter a record for each date in the range you need, or you can use the 
function below to populate the table.
3. Create a query using your exising table and tblDate. There should be no 
line joining the 2 tables in the upper pane of table design. Drag the date 
field from tblDate into the grid. In the Criteria row under this field, 
enter:
Between [InDate] And [OutDate]
This generates a record for every date.
Save the query. Close.
4. Now create your crosstab query, using the query you just created as an 
input "table." The date field will be your Column Heading. The Item will be 
your RowHeading. And the Amount will be the Value.
Here's the function to populdate the date table:
Function MakeDates(dtStart As Date, dtEnd As Date) As Long
Dim dt As Date
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = DBEngine(0)(0).OpenRecordset("tblDate")
With rs
For dt = dtStart To dtEnd
.AddNew
!TheDate = dt
.Update
Next
End With
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
End Function
