    Best practice questions for query speed

    General rule of thumb, never duplicate logic. Even if its slightly different in the base it is the same then use one query. Using union query's too often is a sure sign of bad design, either in tables or in queries.

    Queries and Dates

    Between [Forms]![Reports]![StartDate] And [Forms]![Reports]![EndDate])) is only available at access time, thus the query will be pushed to SQL without the where resulting in a rather big recordset. Between #01/01/1998# And #16/03/2020# are hard dates that can be pushed to SQL server and the...

    Route Planning - shortest path

    I hope these numbers are random, they dont seem to make sence. How about adding a component time as well? I can see a,b,c beeing 40 and a,c beeing 50. Time wize it should probably be reversed. Routing on distance isnt the key I think as you will always arrive at a,b,c even if b isnt needed ?
