I have a user who was given a query to pull data from October 2012.  The person who wrote the query has used it and gotten the proper output.  My user was given it and her data only covers from Oct 1 - 5 and then cuts off.  I got the same file from her and it gave me a full month.  When we change the criteria for another month it gives her all of September 2012 but nothing for November 2012.  When I and the person who gave her the file try, we get these other months in full.  When I put her on another machine and she logged in she got her same Oct 1-5 results.

Has anyone run across anything like this before or does anyone have any ideas on what could be the cause?

Thanks,
Wayne

That's strange.  Does she have the same version of the addins / Excel as you do?  Does she get the correct results if she runs the query from another computer?

Sounds like some kind of security is filtering some of the records. Which file/form is the query pulling from? I assume that you, as the system analyst, have access to all data when querying, does the person who wrote the query have all access as well? If so, is there a way you can rule out security class issues?
