Access 2007 query between two dates
This is the first time I have ever tried to query for something other than an exact value found in a table. I simply have 4 fields Name, Hours, StartDate, EndDate. I would like to be able to enter any of the following criteria and return records matching the criteria. My difficulty is that I don't know what to do for the dates. Do I need a table that will store these four values? Can I create a temporary variable? Where do I specify the search criteria? Query? Function?
Thanks in advance!

The original table has 10 fields I created a new table to store the user inputs that has 4+1 fields.
what are you wanting to query?

I would like to search for all records between date "A" and date "B" as well as optionally name and hours.
select name, hours from table where startdate >= date and enddate<= date
ASKER
startdate >= date and enddate<= date
So where do the values stardate and enddate get stored prior to passing them to a query?
