Ilona-

Love it when posters solve their own problems.  Your first one should
probably be:

  DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewPreview, "",
  "DelDate Is Null"

Hi John,
I had an incorrect variable name in the Where Condition. Should have been
DelDate. Interesting that Access did not pick it up.
Sorry if I have put you to any trouble.

  Hi John,

  I need more help please.

  Sorry this is so long.

  I am having a lot of trouble getting my head around filters, etc.

  I want a report that prints out assets that are  active, deleted or all
  "Computers"  for a nominated centre or all centres.

  I have a form in which there is a combo box from which the user can select
a
  centre. I also add "(All)" to the top of the list of centres, so
effectively
  the user can select all centres or an individual centre.

  I also have an option group of check boxes called "optPrtOptions"
(recognise
  that?!!) from which the user can select to print

  1 … active computers (ie deleted date IsNull)

  2 … deleted computers (ie deleted date Is Not Null)

  3 … all computers (no check on deleted date required)

  I know there must be a better way, but I am going with what I can get
  working.

  The report was written first and uses a query called "qryComputerRegister"
  It also has 2 subreports in it. I had a lot of problems getting
  qryComputerRegister to select "Computers" for a given centre or all
centres
  so I wrote separate queries for selecting all computers off the assets
table
  and then using the resultant query to select computers for a given centre
or
  all centres.

  I then replace "qryComputerRegister" with my resultant qry.

  I now can successfully get all the computers for a given centre or all
  centres.

  But, now I want to incorporate the optPrtOptions and I thought I would be
  able to do this using the WhereCondition as shown below.



  Select Case Me!optPrtOptions

  Case 1

  DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewPreview, "",
  "IsNull([qryComputerRegister]![DeletedDate])"

  Case 2

  DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewPreview, "",
  "([qryComputerRegister]![DeletedDate])>0"

  Case 3

  DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewPreview

  End Select

  Case 1 gives me everything, including records where the deleted date Is
Not
  Null.

  Case 2 gives me nothing, I suspect my _expression_ is wrong.

  Case 3 gives me all computers which is correct

  Can you please lead me in the right direction so that I can get this
  working?

  Thank you in anticipation

  Ilona
