    <p>If you will be running the query from within an Access application session, you can let the db engine use the Access expression service to grab the values from the text boxes on your form.</p> <pre class="lang-vb prettyprint-override"><code>Dim db As DAO.Database Dim strUpdate As String strUpdate = "UPDATE tblJob" &amp; vbCrLf &amp; _ "SET InvoiceNo = '" &amp; newInvoiceNo &amp; "'" &amp; vbCrLf &amp; _ "WHERE CustomerNo = '" &amp; VbCustNo &amp; "'" &amp; vbCrLf &amp; _ "AND FinishDate BETWEEN Forms!frmMainMenu!txtFirstDate AND Forms!frmMainmenu!txtEndDate;" Debug.Print strUpdate Set db = CurrentDb db.Execute strUpdate, dbFailOnError Set db = Nothing </code></pre> <p>However, if you prefer to build the literal date values from those text boxes into your <code>UPDATE</code> statement, you can use <code>Format()</code>.</p> <pre class="lang-vb prettyprint-override"><code>"AND FinishDate BETWEEN " &amp; _ Format(Forms!frmMainmenu!txtFirstDate, "\#yyyy-m-d\#") &amp; _ " AND " &amp; Format(Forms!frmMainmenu!txtEndDate, "\#yyyy-m-d\#") &amp; ";" </code></pre> <p>Either way, using a string variable to hold your <code>UPDATE</code> statement gives you an opportunity to examine the completed statement you're asking the db engine to execute.</p> <p>You can view the output from <code>Debug.Print</code> in the Immediate window (go there with <kbd>Ctl</kbd>+<kbd>g</kbd>). For troubleshooting, you can copy the statement text from there and then paste it into SQL View of a new Access query.</p>

    1. COThanks for the response, I put in your first set of code and it didn't run correctly and spat out the error "Run-time error '3464': Data type mismatch in criteria expression." which is the same as we kept getting. I've then attempted your second solution, and we got the same error.

    2. COWhat are the data types of the `InvoiceNo`, `CustomerNo`, and `FinishDate` fields? Based on the example in your question, I presumed they are text, text and Date/Time respectively.

    3. COWhen you copy the `Debug.Print` output and paste it into SQL View of a new query in the Access query designer, can you then identify the changes needed to avoid that error?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
