I wanted to search for all the individuals that had either a birthday or anniversary on august 12. in my data base.

First I search for an individual who's birth was equal to august 12 result nothing Second I search for an individual who's death equal to August 12 results nothing Third I searched for a marriage who's equal to August 12 results nothing


The date field contains the entire date, including the year. If you have a date entered as Aug 12 with no year it will find it. If there is a year entered, say 1948, then Aug 12, 1948 is NOT the same as Aug 12 and will not be returned. I hope I have explained it well enough. And no, using wild card place holders does not work either. I believe it may be due to the way Legacy (Access) stores dates.
