Between is merely another way of saying >= and <=.  You can always substitute one for the other.

Hi David,

Not really. That is the point of the non-equi join, i.e., give the events that occur within the time spans defined in qryTimeSpan. There is not a specific field to join. I can't really test variants because the query works on all my machines. I was hoping someone on this list might have run into this and have a solution.

WOW, I didn't have my coffee yet.

Is there anything in qryTimeSpan that can join to tblEventTime other that the timeSpan high & low range?

Can you change your BETWEEN to >= and <= for testing purposes?


SELECT tblEventTime.ID, tblEventTime.EventTime, qryTimeSpan.compTimeID, qryTimeSpan.CompTime, qryTimeSpan.low, qryTimeSpan.high FROM tblEventTime INNER JOIN qryTimeSpan ON (tblEventTime.EventTime >= qryTimeSpan.low AND tblEventTime.EventTime <=qryTimeSpan.high);
