Hi, I have a query that I am trying to use criteria from two columns.
The one is "type" and the other is "status"

I have entered the type as a criteria such as "RO"
For the status column, I wanted this to be variable for the user to enter the status such as Open, closed, in process etc.
Basically it would return all records where the type is "RO" and the status would be whatever the user enters in the prompt".
Well the issue I am having is that if we actually enter the status of say Open, then the query is pulling all open records, but its pulling for all types, such as RO, Claims, Dmages, etc. Its no longer filtering on the type in entred in the criteria. However if I leave the status blank, it only pulls the "RO" criteria. I also just tried removing the "enter status or leave blank" prompt and entered the Open, In process, on hold status in the criteria and the OR fields and its doing the exact same thing. I am sure this is something similar i am doing wrong so I would appreciate any help. Thanks:)

Excellent!
I was doing that off of memory (hadn't done that in a few years). So it is good to know that the old gray matter still works (once in a while!).
I really appreciate it. I figured it was something simple but I have no idea why my brain wouldn't work to remember it LOL. I am slowly trying to become more proficient in access but I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you're help while I am re-learning.

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.

No problem.
That isn't the most intuitive thing, so if you had never done it that way before, it would have been tough to figure out on your own.
