Hi thanks for the reply.
The main problem as i see it is that my query is not working as in I know column 10 has blank cells where nothing has been entered. And yet when i try and pull only those using col10 isnull I get 0 results.
My query is of the format
(col1=i) and (col2=>date) and (col3<=date)
This displays 100 results
When I include col10 as a result to be displayed and re run the same query I get 50 results.
And when I run (col1=i) and (col2=>date) and (col3<=date) and (col10isnull) with column 10 to be displayed as a result I get nothing.
I am very sorry I cannot be clearer with screenshots as I am on a restricted pc in terms of screenshots and access.
I really appreciate the advice so far.
If it can't be solved I'm gonna have to make do with running 2 sets of reports and jumping back and forth between them.
Thanks again for the help
