[AccessD] Using Between in a query

[McGillivray, Don]

It's probably better to change the comparison so that the value from the table doesn't include the time, rather than adding a day to the end of the range.  

Something like :

Int(TheDateFromTheTable) between StartDate and EndDate

The Int() function removes the time portion from the date, allowing you to use the actual range for the comparison.

If you add a day to the end of the range, any records dated at midnight of that additional day will be included in the results - not exactly what you want.

I should mention your interactive query could be "smart" and do [Enter your end date]+1 to add a full day to the logic.
