Hello All

I have a form with a button with the following OnClick event:
DoCmd.ApplyFilter ("qry eoys to do")

The sql of "qry eoys to do" is:
SELECT practices.[prac name], practices.[20056 EOY], Left([prac name],1) AS
initial
FROM practices
WHERE (((practices.[20056 EOY])="6") AND ((Left([prac name],1))<"c"));

When I click the button to apply the filter I get a message that the field
[prac name] could refer to more than one table listed in the FROM clause of
the sql statement ... which I really don't get at all!!

Hope someone can help.
Many thanks

Why do you sometimes qualify the columns and sometimes not? Maybe that is
confusing the query. Be consistent and don't qualify any or qualify them all.

Hello Dorian

Many thanks for your reply.

I have to confess, though, that I don't understand what you mean! When you
say that I am qualifying some of the columns but not others, do you mean
that some have a criteria set and others have no criteria set?

Sorry to appear stupid!

Thanks for your continued help.
