Problem with Prepared Statement & MS Access

Question

Hi
I have tried to find some info about this but can't see anything specific to what I think the problem may be. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.I am trying to get information out of an MS Access database using a Prepared Statement but I am getting strange results.
When I run the query in the database it gives me the correct totals (�51) for 4 records. When I run the Prepared Statement ,I get 81. Has it got anything to do with the data type I am using( sorry if this is a really basic question). here is my code- the connection etc is elsewhere.
private void getReportMoneyTotal() throws SQLException
          Calendar todayTotal =Calendar.getInstance() ;
           SimpleDateFormat reportDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MM yyyy");
          PreparedStatement preparedT =context.getConnection().prepareStatement(
               "SELECT Sum(tblSession.Fee) AS Total, Count(tblBooking.BookingID) AS CountOfBookingID FROM tblSession INNER JOIN "+
               "(tblBooking INNER JOIN tblCustomer_Booking ON tblBooking.BookingID = tblCustomer_Booking.BookingID) ON tblSession.SessionID = tblBooking.SessionID "+
               "WHERE (((tblBooking.EventDate)>DateAdd('m',-1,#"+reportDateFormat.format(todayTotal.getTime())+"#)) AND ((tblSession.Session)='Morning' Or (tblSession.Session)='Evening')) OR (((tblSession.Session)='Afternoon') AND ((tblBooking.Extension)=Yes))"
          ResultSet resultTotal =preparedT.executeQuery();
          resultTotal.next();
          Double total =resultTotal.getDouble("Total");
          Locale locale = new Locale("GBP");
        NumberFormat gbpFormat = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locale);
          System.out.println(gbpFormat.format(total));
          preparedT.close();
     }I do realise that my code probably isn't very elegant but I'm only learning!

Hi Matt--
I am not clear if you are saving the url with the # # around
the text or if
the
data already contains the # marks.
When you insert a link, you want to make sure you insert is
insert into table ( link1) values ( <cfqueryparam
cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar"
value='#linkvaluehere#'> )
remember to
1) enclose your data's value inside quotes (some databases
are picky about
single v. double quotes).
2) if it IS in quotes, swap doubles for singles and see if
that helps.
3) make sure your data being saved is NOT double hashed like
'##linkvalueher##'. Double ##'s tell
Coldfusion not to treat it as a variable.
hope his helps,
tami

| Hi Folks,
|
| I'm storing a link in a nvarchar field in SQL server,
www.foo.co.uk, it
looks
| and works fine in SQL server. Problem occurs when I setup
an ADP in Access
and
| insert links. Certain links have a hash symbol around them.
so
|
http://www.foo.co.uk, would be #
http://www.foo.co.uk# which is
causing
problems.
|
| Can anyone tell me why this is happening? and how to stop
it?
|
| Thankyou
