Prompting for Dates in a Parameter Query in Access

by rhyttinen on March 3, 2008

A common use of parameters is to prompt the user for a specific date range.  For example, you might wish to see all orders for the past week.  When you want to prompt the user for a specific date range, use the Between And operators, combined with parameter expressions in the criteria row as shown below:

Between [Enter the Beginning Date] And [Enter the Ending Date]

In the above structure, the user will receive two prompts – “Enter the Beginning Date” for the first date in the time period and “Enter the Ending Date”

for the last date in the time period.
