Question : How do I select prior month data from last year in a query?

Hello Experts,

I have the user type in the "month" and "year" they want to find data for in a form. Lets say they type in (just as an example) October in the first text box and 2009 in the second text box. My queries will return all records that have "October" and "2009" associated with them.

the above works just fine. What I need, at the same time, is another query that will return "current_apps" from last month of last year. So in essence I want September 2008.

How do I make this query?

The reason I need this is because I need to divide my current_apps for this month of this year by the current_apps for last month of last year, display it as a percentage to find my variance to see what my % prior year variance is so I can display it in my report.

If you need any more information please let me know.

Thanks,
