Query to return records for a given year

[Jkittle]

Okay I've searched the forum and have not found exactly what I'm looking for.

I'm trying to create a query to show me records for a given year. The issue I'm having is that each record has (4) dates fields and each record can contain null values.

Is it possible to do this in a query with data like the example below?

Field 1 ID (1), Field 2 Date (12/22/2012), Field 3 Date (2/06/2013), Field 3 Date (Null), Field 4 Date (Null)

In this example I would want 2013 data but would need to be able to search any year. I could also have dates in all (4) fields

Thank for your help
Jerry

Something like

select <whatever> from <table> where year(nz(Field1,'1 Jan 1899')) = pYear or year(nz(Field2,'1 Jan 1899')) = pYear or year(nz(Field3,'1 Jan 1899')) = pYear or year(nz(Field4,'1 Jan 1899')) = pYear

where pYear is the year for which you want data and it won't be 1899!

no need for the nz function, but all the rest is spot on

Just checked namliam's point - he's quite right. That's what I get for answering off the top of my head rather than testing my theories
