Hi. Do you have any data past today's date? If not, try removing your third column from the query and simply add the following criteria in the deb column.

>=Date()

Why are the fields short text in the table? I think that might be the problem.

yes i have records of august mounth with all days

I meant records after today's date. Do you have any records for October yet?

Please clarify that... Do you want records only from yesterday or all records since yesterday (meaning, including today's records)?

one query for to get date of today
and an other query to get date of yesterday

 

[theDBguy]

one query for to get date of today
and an other query to get date of yesterday

To get yesterday's records, you could try this criteria.

>=Date()-1 AND < Date()

Please let us know if that works or not.

The error message as far as I can translate
Says the datatype from the expression is incompatible with the critieria
There is no function in VBA called ValDate so that has to be a user defined function. I assume it is not returning a Date datatype needed by the criteria. What is ValDate? What is the datatype returned by this function?

Is there any reason why you are storing dates as strings?

It usually leads to a world of pain!

In the O/P's other thread the dates were actual dates with time element and we tried to explain that you cannot compare date and time with just a date and expect a match.

Hi. Glad to hear you got it to work. Is that all you need, get records for yesterday or today? Do you have any need for entering a specific date (past or future) and get only the records for that day?
