    difficulty using "Or" in Dlookup

    Your single QUOTE has to be a STRAIGHT Quote/Apostrophe. Copy one of the straight quotes from the left side and replace each quote on the Right side with a copy of it. Chr(39) = Single straight quote mark/apostrophe (') Best to edit it in notepad which used STRAIGHT Quotes exclusively. Cheers! Goh
