Howdy,

I have a query that reads information from a table which contains 1 month
only of information and this gets overwritten each month. what I have is a
query which pulls of information before and after the 16th. problem is I am
having to manually change the date each time.

i.e in the criteria of the query i am enter < 16/02/05 this gets the job
done but is not very "automatic"

can anyone suggest an easier way of doing this? so I can ammend the query to
pull of the required information but without me having to enter the date in
this way?

Thanks in advance

If you run the query in the same month as the data, you can do this:
<DateSerial(Year(Date()),Month(Date()),16)

Put a calculated field in your table:

DayVal: Day([datefield])

This will be just the day portion of the date; use a criterion of
<= 16 or > 16 as appropriate.
