Hello!

I'm sure this has been answerd before but I can't find any thread with this information:

I have a query with two criterias, wich are obtained from dialog boxes.

The queria gives me the result of Criteria A AND Criteria B.

However, sometimes I want to leave one of the criterias blank. In these cases I think the query looks for all the record with an empty field in that criteria which is not what I'm looking for.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you!
 
If you are passing criteria from a form then it will be something like..
Code:
[Forms]![myForm]![myControl] OR [Forms]![myForm]![myControl] Is Null

I've been able to solve the problem with:

Like IIF([Parameter A] is Null,"*",[Parameter A])
