I have 2 queries to check if there is any "double quote" character in any of 12 month columns in a month table of 125K records. I use 2 queries since the maximun criteria in a query is only 8. So I use 8 criteria in the 1st query then use 4 criteria to check the remaining months in the 2nd query.
The month table is refreshed and created every month. The 12 month columns are changing from month to month since they are -13 month to -1 month when the month table is created. For example, if the month table is refreshed and created in May 2013, then the 12 month columns are "May 2012", "Jun 2012" .... and "Apr 2013". If the month table is created in Jun 2013, then the 12-month columns are "Jun 2012", "Aug 2012" .... and "May 2013".
The end user has little knowledge of Access Databse so he seems confusing how to update the 2 queries on new month table.
I am trying to see if there is a way to use 12 criteria in just one query so the end user only deals with one query's update.
If there is a way to automate/improve the update of the queries/query, then it would be the best.
Your any help will be appreciated.
