Between date and date query do not show values when field criterias are null

I have a query with this criteria.
====================================================
Between [Forms]![frm_Shipment_SystemAllDatas]![StartDate] And
[Forms]![frm_Shipment_SystemAllDatas]![EndDate]
====================================================

this shows values from the date entered in the StartDate and EndDate, the
problem is that when the main form is loaded StartDate and EndDate are null
therefore the subform conected to this qyery do not show any value,

I want all datas on the subform even when StartDate and EndDate are null at
the time to load the form

and the criteria must be used after to fill StartDate and EndDate and make a
requery

I was using this criteria in query:
====================================================
Like Nz (>=[Forms]![frm_Shipment_SystemAllDatas]![StartDate] And
<=[Forms]![frm_Shipment_SystemAllDatas]![EndDate],"*")
====================================================
but I just noticed it does not work..


please Help..

Add criteria for the Null condition:

Between [Forms]![frm_Shipment_SystemAllDatas]![StartDate] And
[Forms]![frm_Shipment_SystemAllDatas]![EndDate] Or
([Forms]![frm_Shipment_SystemAllDatas]![StartDate] Is Null And
[Forms]![frm_Shipment_SystemAllDatas]![EndDate] Is Null)

Consider setting the DefaultValue properties of the StartDate and EndDate
form controls to a very early and very late date respectively - either a
date range that makes sense for your business rules, or to cover absolutely
everything, #1/1/100# and #12/31/9999#.

A possible alternative would be along these lines:

PARAMETERS
[Forms]![frm_Shipment_SystemAllDatas]![StartDate] DATETIME,
[Forms]![frm_Shipment_SystemAllDatas]![EndDate] DATETIME;
SELECT *
FROM YourTable
WHERE
(YourDateField >= [Forms]![frm_Shipment_SystemAllDatas]![StartDate]
OR [Forms]![frm_Shipment_SystemAllDatas]![StartDate] IS NULL)
AND
(YourDateField <= [Forms]![frm_Shipment_SystemAllDatas]![EndDate]
OR [Forms]![frm_Shipment_SystemAllDatas]![EndDate] IS NULL);

This would make both parameters optional, i.e. if only a start date is
entered then all rows with dates on or after that would be returned, if only
an end date is entered then all rows with dates on or before that would be
returned. If both are entered then rows with dates between the two are
returned. If neither are entered all rows are returned.

Note that the parameters are declared. This is a good idea with date/time
values as otherwise a date parameter entered in short date format could be
interpreted as an arithmetical expression and give the wrong results.

In the AfterUpdate event procedures of both the StartDate and EndDate
controls requery the subform, e.g.

Me.YourSubformControl.Requery

Finally one precaution I'd advise you to take is to make sure that only
dates with a zero time of day can be entered into the table. You can do this
with a validation rule in the table design requiring YourDateField to equal
DateValue([YourDateField]). If any dates on the final day of the range
inadvertently had a non-zero time of day, which you would not see if the date
is formatted as a date format without times, then these would not be returned
by the query if they fall on the final day of the range.

I used this before but after to close the form and open it again,
the date appears as 01/01/2007 12:00:00 Am and didn't works.

maybe I forgot to use # #, by the moment I have fixed the issue with Ken's
answer, but I really appreciate your answer and support to this newsgroup.

Thanks
