Multi-Select Issue

[china99boy]

Hi guys, I know this is an old post, but I have been struggling with this for sometime and can't seem to get it right. I have a procedure that I export to excel which worked great until I tried to add a mulit select box to the form that previously just had a date range to select from. I am trying to use the code found here and added the following code below to try to make it work. I am getting a run-time erro '2465' Microsoft Office Access can't find the field 'ENTERBY' referred to in your expression. It highlights "Me![ENTERBY] = strCriteria"

"Enterby" is the name of field in my table, but it is reference in the query. Please can someone help me resolve this problem?

Thanks
