The Between...And operator uses the following arguments.

Argument        Description

expr                 Expression identifying the field that contains the data you want to evaluate

value1, value2  Expressions against which you want to evaluate expr

If the value of expr is between value1 and value2 (inclusive), the Between...And operator returns True; otherwise, it returns False.  You can include the Not logical operator to evaluate the opposite condition (that is, whether expr lies outside the range defined by value1 and value2).

You might use Between...And to determine whether the value of a field falls within a specified numeric range.  The following example determines whether an order was shipped to a location within a range of ZIP codes.  If the ZIP Code is between 98101 and 98199, the IIf function returns "Local".  Otherwise, it returns "Nonlocal".

SELECT IIf([ZIP] Between 98101 And 98199, "Local", "Nonlocal")
FROM Publishers
