SQL Command for ranges

hello everyone.. i apologize if there have been other entries like this but i just had to this last minute thing and microsoft access and vb6 is killing me right now..

so i have a table with a "minimum", "maximum", and "amount" field all set to number data type, double, fixed, and 2 decimal places

in my program i have a textbox that contains a certain value.. once i click the button it is supposed to search the database for where the value on the textbox is in between the minimum and the maximum..

E.G.

minimum maximum amount
0.00 499.00 100.00
500.00 599.00 200.00
600.00 699.00 300.00

text1.text = 555.00

what is the most appropriate sql for this so i get the 200.00 amount needed
since 555.00 is in between 500.00 and 599.00

i am sooo looking forward to an answer.. thank you sooo much in advance to whoever helps out.

Dunno

Code:

---

select Amount
From SomeTable
Where (text1 >= [minimum]) AND (text1 <= [maximum])

Reply in SQL server you could use a case statement. I am not familiar enough with access to know if this syntax will work, but you could give it a try:

Code:

---

declare @input money; set @input = 555.00

select
        case
                when @input between 0.00 and 499.00 then 100.00
                when @input between 500.00 and 599.00 then 200.00
            when @input between 600.00 and 699.00 then 300.00
        end

pifft! No need for the select... the ranges are in a table, right?

Code:

---

SELECT * FROM tblRanges WHERE @Input BETWEEN MinField and MaxField

---

Of course replace @Input with what ever means to get your value into it.

of course Technome is right. i created a table and tested it
