Author Filtering In A Query
Sheldon

2006-04-06, 8:29 pm

I have a select query (Query1) that, when run, could have either a 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 in one field (Field1). I then have a follow-on
query (Query2) whose source is Query1 and one other table (Table1)
which is a one record table. What I'm trying to do in Query2 is look
at a field (Field2) in Table1. If Field2 equals 1, 3, 5, or 7, then
only display records from Query1 where Field1 = Field2. If Field2
equals 2, 4, 6 or 8, do nothing. I can't seem to get this to work and
would appreciate any suggestions/help.
Thank you,
Sheldon Potolsky

In rereading my original post, I realize that I was not clear one one
point. If Field2
equals 2, 4, 6 or 8, I WANT TO SHOW ALL RECORDS THAT HAVE ANY OF THOSE
VALUES.
