Jeff Boyce,

I'm doing it in the Design View. Here is the SQL view, without the changes
of course.

SELECT [Employee List A].Employee_First, [Employee List A].Employee_Last,
Month([Date_of_Birth]) AS Expr1, [Employee List A].Part_Full, [Employee List
A].Date_of_Birth, Day([Date_of_Birth]) AS Expr2
FROM [Employee List A]
WHERE (((Month([Date_of_Birth]))=4) AND (([Employee List A].Part_Full)="F")
AND (([Employee List A].[Termination Date]) Is Null));

If you don't include the most recent changes, it's going to be tough
spotting what might not be working correctly...
