Glenda--
The two SQL strings are, indeed, identical, as you pointed out (with the
exception of the HAVING clause). So...the problem, then, is probably in your
data. Access (and other Office apps) produce the 'little boxes' when
non-printing characters are encountered, such as a TAB character; my guess
is that such characters are in the 'AvtyComment' field where
DataStuAvty.Activity="Enrollment Deposit". You can either strip all such
characters from the 'AvtyComment' field when the data is entered, or you can
try to remove them when running the query (which, I believe, would require
writing and calling a custom function, though I could be wrong).
Hope this helps...

The two statements below are identical except for the criteria. One is
looking for Enrollment Deposit the other looking for Application Fee.
The one for App Fee runs and the result includes the VAL from AvtyComment as
it should. The one for Deposit runs and the result incudes little boxes
where the VAL should be. Any thoughts on this would be MOST appreciated.
I've spent way too much time trying to figure this out. /glenda
