<p class=MsoNormal>Hi All.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am the stage with problem that SOMEONE who’s a bit
more lateral thinking than me might be able to see the solution.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have the following data (just a snapshot).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Item Start
End<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>1 15
Feb 2010 26 Feb 2010<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>2 22
Feb 2010 26 Feb 2010<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>3 15
Feb 2010 29 Feb 2010<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>4 24
Feb 2010 25 Feb 2010<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>5 23
Feb 2010 25 Feb 2010<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>6 24
Feb 2010 31 Feb 2010<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>7 22
Feb 2010 26 Feb 2010<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>8 23
Feb 2010 24 Feb 2010<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>What I am doing is TRYING to find all items that fall
between a given date range.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>In this case I am trying to find all the items between the
22 Feb and 26 Feb.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>i.e. all of the items should be returned in the above snap
shot.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am trying the following where clause (not real field
names):-<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>WHERE (#22 FEB 2010 13.00.00# Between START And END)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>AND (#26 FEB 2010 10.00.00# Between START And END)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>However, that missed out Items 1,34,5,6 and I think 8.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If I try:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>WHERE START >=#22 FEB 2010 13.00.00# And ENDTIME <=#26
FEB 2010 10.00.00# <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>It misses out 1,3 and 6<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I cant go<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>WHERE START >=#22 FEB 2010 13.00.00# or ENDTIME <=#26
FEB 2010 10.00.00# as that returns to many records.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Can anyone see what I am missing? I don’t mind if I have to
do it in separate queries as I can just union them, but I have been looking at
this too long and I just cant figure it out, so I thought another set of eyes
might help <span style='font-family:Wingdings'>J</span><o:p></o:p></p>
