Question : Access 2000 - Query Crteria Problem

I have a database with a table containing 4 fields.

[number] - a general number
[numberofmonth] - the number of the month  (E.g. 3,4,5)
[numberofyear] - the number of the year  (E.g. 2002,2003)
[text] - Names of employees

The table contains records from
[numberofmonth]= 4 [numberofyear]= 2002
to
[numberofmonth]= 3 [numberofyear]= 2003(My company's ficsal year)

I am trying to SUM the [number] field in a query starting from the start of the fiscal year(4,2002) to the current date - I have a form that I refer to in this query that has a field showing the current date.

I tried to enter the following criteria in the [numberofmonth] field.

>=4 and <=Datepart("m",[forms]![Monthly Reports]![ThisMonth])

This works fine until

Datepart("m",[forms]![Monthly Reports]![ThisMonth]) = 1 or 2 or 3

I've tried using IFF statments, but just couldn't get it to work.  Basically if
Datepart("m",[forms]![Monthly Reports]![ThisMonth]) = 2 I want to see the records where the [number] field equals 4 thru 12 and also 1 and 2, but not 3 until it is March.

I hope that makes sense.

Answer : Access 2000 - Query Crteria Problem

I would approach this by concatenating the Year and Month and set the criteria to compare to this new field.
eg. 200212 .. 200301   QYM: (numberofyear * 100) + numberofmonth
