Difficult Reports 2 Upload Images Link

Ive been working on a somewhat complex search form that feeds many reports generated by that form and the query it generates.  Now that I understand Remember the value for later use. Feature of the combo boxes. Took a lot of testing.
It works pretty well with one issue that I have been trying to make work over this last week.
The form selects from three Combo boxes data that the query uses to generate a report.  Works great.  The problem I have is that I want to select a date range for any selected data.  I cant seem to get it to work.  The first combo box Anded with the Date Range works, but I have not been able to AND the other two Ored Combo selects with the selected data Range.  I know it must be a VBA coding solution but Im still new and not very good about VBA yet.  Doing the reports this way saves a lot of extra work for the many accounts Im working with and will be much more flexible.

You may need 3 queries - one for each Combo Box to get an And condition with your Date fields for each one. Then in the After Update event of each Combo Box set the Record Source of the form to the appropriate query.

Query Criteria
AfterUpdate
Record Source Property

Watch Search Form 2.0 if you haven't already.
