Hi, i am missing data in some of my reports. I check my queries and some of
them have >1 in the criteria of some of the fields ie: (fldDate orautoNo)

Who created the queries?

What kind of data is stored in the "fields"?

What is the expected output of the queries?

More info, please...

A friend of mine, he does not work in the shop any more. The data in the
query is date of an event, then it assign a autono. But when i go to the
table that has all the info the first file that is in the table is not in the
query. The query combines the data from a table and other event informations.

I'm afraid I still don't have nearly enough information to offer any
specific suggestions.

Perhaps one of the other readers in this 'group can offer ideas...

It might be a fudge to eliminate nulls. A lot of people do not understand
them.

This will retrieve all records where the field has a value greater
than 1; records where the field is negative, zero, equal to 1, or (for
date/time fields) prior to December 31, 1899 will not be retrieved.

Since we have no way to know anything about the datatype, contents, or
meanings of fldDate or orautoNo, it's more than a bit difficult to
suggest whether this criterion is sensible or not in your context.
