[AccessD] less than on text field

[John R Bartow]

The second one is what I tried. It returns "Data Type Mismatch in Criteria
Expression".

Now that I tried it again, it doesn't matter what I put in the criteria
field, it returns the same error.

Don't know about MySQL but wouldn't it be

[as_software]![version] < '11'

since it's a text field

Or

Val([as_software]![version]) < 11

which would give you the numeric value of the characters in the text field ?
