SQL Mix up?

[Guest]

I am running a query with this in the criteria field:

IIf(DateDiff("d","Arrival Date",[Start Date])>[Rates]![FreeDays],[Departure
Date] Or IIf(DateDiff("d","ArrivalDate",[Start
Date])<[Rates]![FreeDays],((Max Charge Days Total-[Rates]![FreeDays]-DateDiff
("d", ArrivalDate, StartDate))))

It gives me an error warning that the expression has an invalid (dot) or !
Operator. Then it highlights the openning parenthesis right before the last
"d" in the expression. Does anyone know what is wrong?

Thank you

Well in the first part of the select statement you've placed ArrivalDate
between " " and you did not in the last part of the statment. I don't know if
that's a typo but try changing it.

IIf(DateDiff("d","Arrival Date",[Start Date])>CLng([Rates]![Free Days]),(Date
Range Detention Query_1]![Departure Date]) Or
IIf(DateDiff("d","ArrivalDate",[Start Date])<CLng([Rates]![Free Days]),(("Max
Charge Days Total")-CLng(([Rates]![Free Days])-(DateDiff("d","Arrival
Date",[Start Date])))))


I have this and am getting the error: Data type mismatch in the criteria
field. Do you know what that is?

Why are you converting the values to long? Try the expression without the
clng and see what the query comes up with...
So: ([Rates]![Free Days]),([Date Range Detention Query_1]![Departure Date])
instead of ([Rates]![Free Days]),(Date Range Detention Query_1]![Departure
Date])

btw did you notice the lacking of a bracket right before the word Date?
