Hi

I am running three qrys to enter dates into three combo boxs.

1 box is for the dates in month format.
01/01/03 to January 2003

2 box is for the dates in Year format.
01/01/03 to 2003

3 box is for the dates in Quarter format.
01/01/03 to Q1 2003
07/01/03 to Q3 2003

The following work for the month and year formats but I can't seem to get Quarters working.

strSQL = "SELECT Format([Date],'mmmm yyyy') AS [Months] FROM [MONTHS];"

strSQL = strSQL = "SELECT Format([Date],'yyyy') AS [Years] FROM [YEARS];"

***Problem***
strSQL = "SELECT Format([Date],'q yyyy') AS [Quarters], FROM [QUARTERS];"

***Error***
error 3141, select statement has reserved word or an argument name that is misspelled or missing, or the punctuation is incorrect.

does anyone know the proper way to format this

thanks

Try removing the comma at the end of the select clause.

...AS [Quarters], FROM ...

Thanks and Good Luck!

Thanks zemp

I am feeling very stupid now as it was so obvious.
I think I have been staring at code to long
