Between Dates Parameter Query

Hi Everyone,

Access 2003. I have a query that I have set up so the user can type in
"between" dates. They pull data for the month so the first date they enter
is 3/1/10 and the end date is 3/31/10. I want all records between these
dates but anything that is 3/31 doesn't show up inless I type in 4/1. Is
there a way I can add something in the expression so it automatically adds
the one day?

Thanks,
Linda

Between [Enter Start Date] and DateAdd(d,1,[Enter end Date])

Better would be
=[Enter Start Date] and DateAdd(d,1,[Enter end Date])

The first would catch any record with the field value of Midnight On the End
Date Plus 1. The second would only go up to but not include midnight on the
second date plus one day.

Thanks John. Right before lunch I was reading through the earlier posts and
found this in the Previous Month query post right below mine and saw that in
his expression and thought...I'm gonna try that after lunch but now I know
it will work.

Ok...tried both.

1st one give me a syntax error..."You may have entered an operand without an
operator"

2nd one doesn't give me anything close

If I add your second example I get 704 records with several years worth of
records so something is filtered but I can't tell what

If there is no criteria I get 742 records with several years worth of
records

Thanks,
Linda

Your Date Field includes a Time value.
Therefore any data past 00:00:00 AM of the [EndDate] is not within the
Between [FromDate] And [EndDate] criteria.
Easiest work-around is to just add one day manually to the [EndDate]
when prompted, i.e. instead of entering 3/31/2010 enter 4/1/2010.

A better work-around would be to set
[FromDate]
and
[EndDate]
and their expected Datatype as query parameters in the Query Parameter
Dialog (Click Query + Parameter).
Then change your criteria to:
Between [FromDate] and ([EndDate] + 1)

The best solution, if the Time of day is not necessary, is to run an
Update Query to remove the time value from the date:

Update YourTable Set YourTable.[DateField] = DateValue([DateField]);

Then make sure the time is not included in any new entries, i.e. use
Date() instead of Now().

Its once in a blue moon that John Spencer makes a mistake, but he had a single
character typo; instead of

=[Enter Start Date] and DateAdd(d,1,[Enter end Date])

it should be

=[Enter Start Date] and DateAdd(d,1,[Enter end Date])

I long ago changed to never store date and time in the same field.
It solved a whole host of problems. On the other hand, had I ever
needed the combined value to be indexed, it would have been a
problem. But I think the default of never storing them in the same
field is the best starting point, until you have a good reason to do
otherwise.

My bet is that most date fields in Access apps don't need a time
part at all.
