Don't know why it should do that. Care to post the query so people can offer suggestions?

I am going to assume this is a stored or named query. In other words it shows up when you open the query section in Access.

1. Open the query in design view.
2. On the Menu go View > SQL
3. Copy the SQL text.
4. Paste it here.

That should do it.

I know that the results are wrong because I went into tables and manually counted the records.

Well there's nothing obviously wrong with the query. And I'm assuming that the query is returning more records than you think it should.

There are a couple of things you can do to debug.

1. simply copy the query to a new query and see if you get the same number of records returned.

2. create a new query that just returns the ID and date fields and check the number of returned records and that the dates are within the Start and End Dates. something like this: *

Code:

SELECT table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.ID_RSSD,
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.[Open Audit Date],
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.[Prelim Audit Date],
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.[Final Audit Date]
FROM table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year
WHERE (((table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.[Open Audit Date]) Between [Enter Start Date] And [Enter End Date]) 
	AND ((table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.[Prelim Audit Date]) Between [Enter Start Date] And [Enter End Date]) 
	AND ((table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.[Final Audit Date]) Between [Enter Start Date] And [Enter End Date]))
ORDER BY table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.[Open Audit Date], 
	table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.[Prelim Audit Date], 
	table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.[Final Audit Date];

3. Create seperate queries for each Audit Date and then Join them to see if you get the correct results. Something like this:

qryAuditOpenDate

Code:

SELECT table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.ID_RSSD,
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.Event_Number,
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.Inst_Name,
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.Start_Date,
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.Finc_Date,
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.Exam_Type,
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.Discrepancy,
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.Reviewed_by,
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.Date_Reviewed,
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.City,
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.State,
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.Scope,
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.Open_Prepared_By,
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.Prelim_Prepared_By,
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.Final_Prepared_By,
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.[# of Discrepancies_pre],
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.Discrepancy_pre,
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.[# of Discrepancies_fin],
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.Discrepancy_fin,
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.[# of Discrepancies],
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.[Open Audit Date],
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.[Prelim Audit Date],
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.[Final Audit Date],
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.[Open Reviewed by],
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.[Prelim Reviewed by],
	 table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.[Final Reviewed by]
FROM table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year
WHERE ((table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.[Open Audit Date]) Between [Enter Start Date] And [Enter End Date]) ;

qryAuditPreviewDate

Code:

SELECT table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.ID_RSSD,
FROM table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year
WHERE ((table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.[Prelim Audit Date]) Between [Enter Start Date] And [Enter End Date]) ;

qryAuditFinalDate

Code:

SELECT table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.ID_RSSD
FROM table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year
WHERE ((table_NED_AUDIT_Current_Year.[Final Audit Date]) Between [Enter Start Date] And [Enter End Date]));

qryAuditDates

Code:

SELECT qryAuditOpenDate.ID_RSSD,
	 qryAuditOpenDate.Event_Number,
	 qryAuditOpenDate.Inst_Name,
	 qryAuditOpenDate.Start_Date,
	 qryAuditOpenDate.Finc_Date,
	 qryAuditOpenDate.Exam_Type,
	 qryAuditOpenDate.Discrepancy,
	 qryAuditOpenDate.Reviewed_by,
	 qryAuditOpenDate.Date_Reviewed,
	 qryAuditOpenDate.City,
	 qryAuditOpenDate.State,
	 qryAuditOpenDate.Scope,
	 qryAuditOpenDate.Open_Prepared_By,
	 qryAuditOpenDate.Prelim_Prepared_By,
	 qryAuditOpenDate.Final_Prepared_By,
	 qryAuditOpenDate.[# of Discrepancies_pre],
	 qryAuditOpenDate.Discrepancy_pre,
	 qryAuditOpenDate.[# of Discrepancies_fin],
	 qryAuditOpenDate.Discrepancy_fin,
	 qryAuditOpenDate.[# of Discrepancies],
	 qryAuditOpenDate.[Open Audit Date],
	 qryAuditOpenDate.[Prelim Audit Date],
	 qryAuditOpenDate.[Final Audit Date],
	 qryAuditOpenDate.[Open Reviewed by],
	 qryAuditOpenDate.[Prelim Reviewed by],
	 qryAuditOpenDate.[Final Reviewed by]
FROM qryAuditOpenDate INNER JOIN qryAuditPreviewDate ON qryAuditOpenDate.ID_RSSD = qryAuditPreviewDate.ID_RSSD
	 INNER JOIN qryAuditFinalDate ON qryAuditOpenDate.ID_RSSD = qryAuditFinalDate.ID_RSSD
ORDER BY qryAuditOpenDate.Inst_Name, qryAuditOpenDate.Start_Date;

These should be close to correct.
