Query
I am trying to make a query where I want to return results based on a yes being in the field as opposed to no. There are eight things that I need to have show up based on the yes and no in the field. It will work if I only have it check two fields. If I try and get it to pull a yes answer from all the fields I get no results at all. I am sure it is something where Access and I are not speaking the same language. Can anyone help me out?
Here are the fields
MAIN PRODUCER
INSURED
REFERENCE #
VIN
BRANDED TITLE
GENERAL SALVAGE
JUNK
REBUILT
DISMANTLED
FLOOD
FIRE
HAIL
SALVAGE AUCTION
I WANT TO RETURN RESULTS ON ITEMS IN RED. WHEN I GET THE INFORMATION BACK FROM CARFAX THE ITEMS IN RED WILL HAVE VALUES OF YES AND NO. I WANT IT TO BE LISTED IF THERE IS A YES TO ANY OF THESE ITEMS. THERE WILL BE TIMES WHEN THEY WILL HAVE A YES TO MORE THAN ONE ITEM.
IN CRITERIA I PUT IN YES ON ALL OF THOSE ITEMS THAT I WANT TO PULL FROM. I GET NO RESULTS. I WAS TRYING TO TROUBLE SHOOT AND STARTED PUTTING THEM IN ONE AT A TIME AND TRYING TO GET RESULTS. IT WORKS IF I HAVE YES IN BRANDED TITLE AND GENERAL SALVAGE IT WILL PULL INFORMATION. HOWEVER IF YOU PUT YES IN ANYMORE OF THE FIELDS IT RETURNED 0 RESULTS.
I AM NEW AT THIS I HOPE THIS IS WHAT YOU NEEDED TO HELP ME. TAKE PITY ON A HARD WORKING GIRL AND THANK YOU FOR THE HELP.

Show us the query and related table(s).

<<If I try and get it to pull a yes answer from all the fields I get no results at all.>>
If you put "yes" in each criteria on the same line, that is an AND operation and there would have to be a "yes" in every field to pull a record.
You probably are wanting an OR operation, where if field1=yes OR field2=yes OR field3....
To create an OR operation, you use multiple criteria lines on the query design form.
