Question : Selecting and Viewing Range of Dates by Month in Access Query

Hi,

I creating a database to analyse surveys for a small hospital, and am trying to create a query that allows one to analyse surveys, by month, between a selected range of months (i.e. between July 2002 and June 2003)

The Date that each survey was conducted was saved in the field [Survey Date]

My query runs fine, if I view ALL survey responses by month, set up as follows:

[Survey Year]          [Survey Month Number]  [Survey Month Survey Year]
Year(Survey Date)   Month(Survey Date)        Format(Survey Date, "mmmm yyyy")

(All surveys are grouped, by month, in order--and the query results are fed directly into a report)

Each of these has the Total selected as "Group By"

However, I'm not sure how to SELECT the months that I would like to analyse.

I have tried to create the following criterion under [Survey Month Survey Year]:

Between [Enter first month (Example: January 2002)] And [Enter last month (Example: January 2002)]

This produces quite erratic results (not in order of month and year, and seemingly selects random months!).

Any ideas on solving this problem would be most appreciated!!

Thanks,

Tony

Answer : Selecting and Viewing Range of Dates by Month in Access Query

OK, try for the Between:

Between DateSerial(year("01 " & [Enter first month (Example: January  2002)]),Month("01 " & [Enter first month (Example: January  2002)]),"01") And DateSerial(Year("01 " & [Enter last month (Example:  February 2002 02)]),Month("01 " & [Enter last month (Example:  February 2002 02)] )+1,"00")));
