Geoff,

I had tried it with an OR but that also didn't work with start and end dates from different years. I got it to work with a slightly more complex version which you can find in one of my other messages. That is apparently working.

Thanks for your help.

>>after getting around a blank date problem, I am not getting the logic right in this. It works well if the year of both start and end dates is the same. However if I have the start date set at 31st Dec 2004 and End date at 1st Jan 2005, I get no data coming out, whereas there are dates on both days.
