    First Timer attempt at Project List

    I created my first database/report for our office Project list:
    Next Deadline, Job #, Name, Phase, Client, PM

    The Report is sorted by Next Deadline. I'm fine up to there...

    What I need to ask for help with is, how do I omit all records in the Field Phase that are "Done"? (Phase can be SD, DD, CD, or DONE)

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to the forum!


    Next Deadline, Job #, Name, Phase, Client, PM
    First, if the above are the actual field names in your table, it is generally recommended to not have spaces or special characters in your table or field names. I see you have spaces & #. Also the word "name" is a reserved word in Access and also should not be used as a table or field name. This site has a list of reserved words.

    Now as to your question. You will have to create a query based on your project table and add some criteria for the Phase field. Since you want all projects that are not done, the criteria would be

    <>"DONE"

    The SQL view would look like this

    SELECT fieldnames
    FROM projecttablename
    WHERE phase<>"DONE"

    You would then change the record source from the table to the query.
