Default MS Query 2000 on dates with parameters

Figured out the problem. Extra date field was causing the problem when using
a Sum formula. Then the date format in MySQL had to be yyyy/MM/dd. Then it
worked.

Thanks

Hi,

This works for me on the Criteria row in MS Query:

=[Start Date] And <=[End Date]

as does this
Between [Start Date] And [End Date]

Try looking at the SQL statement in MS Query - in my case it is

WHERE (Employees.HireDate Between ? And ?)

I am trying to get a query with parameters on a date field to show up properly.

#3/01/2009# And <#3/31/2009#


This above statement works in the date field criteria.

#3/01/2009# And <[Please enter an ending date]


This above statement does not.

Ultimately I want to set it up to do this

=[Please enter a start date] And <=[Please enter an ending date]


Is there any better way to do this or to make the above work properly?

Database is MySQL if it matters.

Any help is appreciated. rasinc
