Default sumproduct formula too long, & how to use make an 'OR' statement w

Okay, multipart question that I'm really hoping you wizards can answer...

I'm trying to sum #s into a table from a separate document (the source doc
is on our company intranet, hence the '...' below - that is a lonngg intranet
address). The #s to be summed have to meet a variety of criteria. However,
it often has to meet criteria A or B (or C) in the same column, and similar
in other columns. AND to make it worse there's a date range.

1. Is the formula below is asking for column A to contain "London" AND
"Munich" etc, instead of "London" OR "Munich" etc. If so, how can I make it
an OR statement. (Same goes for the brand info in column J)
2. Does the date range setup look like it should work?
3. Is there a limit to the amount of criteria in a sumproduct or a limit to
# of characters
4. Assuming I could make an OR statement work how would I get around the
length problem?
5. Last one! I'd rather just have it search the whole column instead of
specific rows, but when I tried A:A it gave an error. Any way to do that?

On the formulas I do have with less OR possibilities, the formula doesn't
result in error, but it does result in 0 when it definitely shouldn't.

Sorry for the length!! Thanks so much for any help!!!
