Another syntax error in SQL

I am getting the above error with the following:

Code:

---

strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tbl_Finances"
strSQL = strSQL & " WHERE Finance_Date > #" & dtDateOne & "#"
strSQL = strSQL & " AND < #" & dtDateTwo & "#"
strSQL = strSQL & " ORDER BY Finance_Date"

---

I cannot see anything wrong with the output below! :sick:

Quote:

---

debug.Print strsql
SELECT * FROM tbl_Finances WHERE Finance_Date > #01/06/2007# AND < #30/06/2007# ORDER BY Finance_Date
SELECT * FROM tbl_Finances WHERE Finance_Date > #01/06/2007# AND < #30/06/2007#
SELECT * FROM tbl_Finances WHERE Finance_Date > #01/06/2007#
SELECT * FROM tbl_Finances

---

If you are not using between then you need to put the field name in twice like this:

Code:

---

strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tbl_Finances"
strSQL = strSQL & " WHERE Finance_Date > #" & dtDateOne & "#"
strSQL = strSQL & " AND Finance_Date < #" & dtDateTwo & "#"
strSQL = strSQL & " ORDER BY Finance_Date"

---

Thanks Gary.

How would the SQL look if I was using BETWEEN and which is best to use?

Code:

---

WHERE Finance_Date BETWEEN #" & dtDateOne & "# AND " &  dtDateTwo & "#"

---

As Hack showed. I perfer the Between but that is just my choice.

And I agree. I prefer using the Between as well.

Both ways work, but I just think it is cleaner using BETWEEN.

However, as Gary points out, it is a individual, personal, preference, not Gospel. :)

Thanks both of you

Don't know if this should be in a new thread or not .....

I have the following now and sometimes it returns the correct records, sometimes nothing, although it should be.
Can you see why?

Code:

---

    If blnSelectedDates Then
        'reset boolean
        blnSelectedDates = False
       
        strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tbl_Finances"
        strSQL = strSQL & " WHERE Finance_Date BETWEEN #" & dtDateOne & "# AND " & dtDateTwo & "#"
    Else
        Select Case NumOfRecordsDisplayed
            Case 0
                'display last 30 records
                'yet to do
                strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tbl_Finances"
               
                strSQL = strSQL & " ORDER BY Finance_Date"
            Case 1
                'display last 60 records
                'yet to do
                strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tbl_Finances"
               
                strSQL = strSQL & " ORDER BY Finance_Date"
        End Select
       
    End If
End If

You are not handling the Case Else portion of the method. You are checking if NumOfRecordsDisplayed is equal to 0 or 1; however, how do you intend to handle it if it is any other number? Essentially, it NumOfRecordsDisplayed equals 2 you are passing an empty query, which is the reason you aren't getting any records. ;)

Thanks for the reply CompositeID

I haven't get to the ESLE part of the code yet, I am still working on the part before.

As for NumOfRecordsDisplayed, this is the value of an option button in the Options form. ;)
