Query by Intervals within Date Range
Table:
Start Date, Stop Date
If a Stop Date is Null, the record is active still.
User Selects:
1. Report Period (week, quarter), for this example week.
2. The Interval (month, quarter, year), for this example month
3. The Range of Start Dates (ie. 1/1/00 to 6/1/00)
Output (could be by row or column):
Period: 1/29/00|2/5/00|2/12/00|2/1
Percent Active:PA |PA |PA |PA |PA |...PA
Where PA = the % of active records at the Interval.The PA % = (Count(Active Records)/Count(Active + Inactive Records)) FOR Starts withing the specified Week!
In this example:
Starts from 1/29/00 to 2/4/00 would be measured to find the PA at the 1 month mark. 2/5 to 2/11, 2/12 to 2/19 etc.
Active record is one where the stop date IS NULL or the (stop date - start date)>Interval (In this case one month).
An Inactive Record = (stop date - start date)<Interval

I dont understand you're question. Are you asking how to write the entire query you need or just how to tell it to look between the dates?
Nice piece of work to do douglaskarr!
I solved a similar problem with:
1) A module that "generates" the measuring points (week, month,quarter) and writes them to a (temp) table.
2) A module that returns all "hits" on one measuring point. (For weeks every "hit" translates in a table row with the hit-weeknumber) Here the enddate is used as NZ(enddate,#2999-12-31#) to make sure they hit.
3) A crosstable query that links the generated periods (as "master") to the created rows from 2). (The module is executed for all periods, but there can be periods without hits!)
Lost track or do you see the logic of this approach ?

PsychoDazey: I believe it's a series of queries to get the result. The most difficult thing for me to figure out is generating the date ranges (start date + interval...) to populate the table.
Nico: I understand the logic - let me do some work and generate some follow up questions.

"INSERT INTO table1 SELECT * FROM table2 WHERE datefield > #" & me![startdate] & "# AND < #" & me![stopdate] & "#"
you could also use the between keyword.
you have to remember to enclose the dates in #'s

Hence my comment on using the between.
As Douglas stated, it will probably be a series of questions to walk him all the way through this, by this statement I am sensing he is fairly new to vba. My next step would have been to introduce the IsNull() function (my personal preference over the Nz)

Wow. I let this one go for a while. Please let me review and get some testing underway.
