Microsoft query help
I need this query to have officename is is not null and prompt the user for the officename. The prompt is what I don't know how to do since there is already "is not" in the criteria.
SELECT Complaints.ComplaintNo, Complaints.CaseName, Complaints.PostSiezure955D
FROM (qryOfficerName INNER JOIN Officers ON qryOfficerName.ContactID = Officers.ContactID) INNER JOIN Complaints ON Officers.ContactID = Complaints.OfficerID
WHERE (((qryOfficerName.OfficerN
ORDER BY Complaints.ComplaintNo;
SELECT Complaints.ComplaintNo, Complaints.CaseName, Complaints.PostSiezure955D
FROM (qryOfficerName INNER JOIN Officers ON qryOfficerName.ContactID = Officers.ContactID) INNER JOIN Complaints ON Officers.ContactID = Complaints.OfficerID
WHERE (((qryOfficerName.OfficerN
ORDER BY Complaints.ComplaintNo;

If officename is not null will be in your query, the only rows will have a non-null officename value.
You might need a union query, where the first query in the list contains non-null officename rows and the second query would contain a prompted value for the officename.

You might need a union query, where the first query in the list contains non-null officename rows and the second query would contain a prompted value for the officename.
Example:
SELECT Officename, Complaints.ComplaintNo, Complaints.CaseName, Complaints.PostSiezure955Date, qryOfficerName.OfficerName, Complaints.TargetDate, Complaints.Stats2
FROM (qryOfficerName INNER JOIN Officers ON qryOfficerName.ContactID = Officers.ContactID) INNER JOIN Complaints ON Officers.ContactID = Complaints.OfficerID
WHERE (((qryOfficerName.OfficerName) Is Not Null) AND ((Complaints.Stats2) Not In ("closed")))
And Officename Is Not Null
UNION ALL
SELECT [Enter Missing Office Name], Complaints.ComplaintNo, Complaints.CaseName, Complaints.PostSiezure955Date, qryOfficerName.OfficerName, Complaints.TargetDate, Complaints.Stats2
FROM (qryOfficerName INNER JOIN Officers ON qryOfficerName.ContactID = Officers.ContactID) INNER JOIN Complaints ON Officers.ContactID = Complaints.OfficerID
WHERE (((qryOfficerName.OfficerName) Is Not Null) AND ((Complaints.Stats2) Not In ("closed")))
And Officename Is Null
ORDER BY Complaints.ComplaintNo
It prompts me for a "missing officer name" I want it to prompt for the officer name. See attached

So, which is it, "Office name" or "Officer name"?
Social distance; Wear a mask; Don't touch your face; Wash your hands for 20 seconds

If you want just results for a certain Officer Name, it might be better to do this via a form with a combo box for selecting that name (or better, the key ID field of that record), and use it to return filtered results. See my Fancy Filters sample database (attached). Here is a screen shot of the form:

Take a look at the controls and code on my sample form -- you might be able to modify them to work on your form.
