    Inclusive Between Date Query on input data from user


    I have searched for the answer to this but just can't seem to figure it out. I am trying to do a query using BETWEEN/AND on a date field that contains time. When the user clicks a button, they are asked to put in the start date and end date. So for example if the user wanted records between the dates of 9/25/2010 and 9/30/2010 the records from 9/30/2010 do not return. I know this is a factor of the time and that Access views the date of 9/30/2010 at the time of 00:00:00 so technically the query runs correct since all dates do fall between 9/25/2010 00:00:00 and 9/30/2010 00:00:00. I assume I have to add one day to the day input by the user but can't figure out the syntax. Anybody know how to do this? Thanks.
    Code:
    SELECT tblQuestions.*, tblQuestions.LastUpdated
    FROM tblQuestions INNER JOIN tblTempUniqueQuestIDchanges ON tblQuestions.QuestID = tblTempUniqueQuestIDchanges.QuestID
    WHERE (((tblQuestions.LastUpdated) Between [Enter start date] And [Enter thru date]));

    Have you looked at the DateAdd() function yet?

    Yes. Have a look in VBA Help.

    OK, I tried this:
    Code:
    WHERE (((tblQuestions.LastUpdated) Between [Enter start date] And ( DateAdd ("d",1, [Enter thru date]))))
    and it only returned one date from the thru date. It was an early morning updated record. So is this adding a full day to the query? It seems to be missing records from later in the day.

    It should be. Are you copying your code and pasting to your post or retyping it in the post. The spacing does not look right for Access.

    I was copying and pasting. But now for some reason when I run the query, it is asking me twice for the start and end dates...something isn't right, obviously. I will keep messing with it.

    Ok, after stepping away from this for several hours and closing the DB and starting over, it seems to be working correctly. Thanks RG for steering me in the right direction.
    Code:
    WHERE (((tblQuestions.LastUpdated) Between [Enter start date] And (DateAdd("d",1,[Enter thru date]))))
