Switch, IIf or ?

I have a table where each record consists of a series of posting dates,
posting items and amounts. I need to display those posting items and
amounts for each record that meeting a given date criteria. I am able to use
the switch function to but it will only display the first occurrence where
the posting date meets the criteria.k I know the switch returns the first
occurrence; how do I get for a record the all occurrence where the posting
date meeting the criteria.

The problem is a classic example of why you need a relational design.

In a relational database, you do not have many repeating columns in the one
table (such as [DT POSTED4], [DT POSTED5], [DT POSTED5], and so on.)
Instead, you create a related table where there can be many related records
for one record in this table, each one with its own posting date.

Thank you very much Allen, This is a mdb that I inherited and have put off
redesigning. Looks like I will have to move the redesign up on my priority
list because it is seriously hampering my efforts to pull design reports.

Thanks again.

I think i need help with the redesign though.

Okay, design is a big topic.

For starting form scratch, here's a couple of basic examples:
Relationships between Tables (School Grades example)
at:
http://allenbrowne.com/casu-06.html
and:
Don't use Yes/No fields to store preferences
at:
http://allenbrowne.com/casu-23.html

Crystal (MS Access MVP) has a series of tutorial PDFs here:
http://allenbrowne.com/casu-22.html
The 3rd one is on normalization.

Jeff Conrad (Microsoft employee) has a bunch more links on normalization:
